Supervisor Corcoran thanked Everett Erichsen at Emergency Management and two county legislators for working to secure an $83,000 subsidy that helps maintain the town's 24-hour ALS ambulance service. He said the town continues to have ALS coverage and that he will meet with Ambulnz on Sept. 30 to review annual statistics.
Corcoran explained that a flag car provides coverage when the regular ambulance is on a call and that the town does not incur an extra charge for that service. The board did not specify whether the subsidy is one-time or recurring in the meeting minutes.
