Council asks whether ambulance can be operational while station work continues
Summary
Councilors pressed staff on whether the ambulance could be in service before construction is finished, with staff saying the vehicle must be operational by August and that storage of equipment is the primary remaining obstacle.
Council asked whether the ambulance could be placed into service without completing large construction work on the station and sought a target timeline. The chair asked whether there was a plan to have the ambulance up and running by January; staff said it "has to be going by August" and that the main unresolved issue is storage space for the vehicle and related equipment (S3).
Members noted that some kinks will only be worked out closer to the operational date and that staffing, equipment and vehicle readiness are separate concerns from the building footprint. The council did not record a formal motion; staff said they were continuing to prepare necessary logistics and equipment storage plans as they pursue construction alternatives.
