Council approves $20 'dry-run' pay for ambulance call-outs; grant payment delayed
Summary
Scipio approved paying $20 per 'dry run' for ambulance responders and required large grant-funded purchases be brought to council; the town reported a $22,263.10 competitive ambulance grant is delayed pending impact-fee report follow-up.
The Scipio Town Council approved by consensus a proposal to compensate ambulance responders $20 per "dry run"—a call-out that does not result in patient transport. Council also directed that all large purchases tied to grants must come to the council for prior approval.
Council members were told a $22,263.10 competitive grant—an important source for ambulance equipment—has been delayed because of the impact-fee report issue; staff will follow up with Brenda Brown. "$22,263.10 competitive grant: funds delayed due to impact fee report; to follow up with Brenda Brown," the minutes record.
The dry-run compensation was approved without a roll-call; the minutes record it as "Approved by consensus." Councilors clarified that grant-funded purchases should be brought forward for approval to ensure transparency and budget compliance.
