County to cover Green EMS contract; talk of regional ambulance merger and $1.25M grant
Summary
Board heard that the county will pay the Green EMS contract so services come at no cost to the town. Board members also discussed a possible merger to create a mountaintop ambulance service covering Ashland, Windham and Hunter and mentioned a grant in the $1.2M–$1.25M range.
The Chair reported that Green EMS has sent a contract that the board historically agreed to and that, this year, the county will pick up the cost so the town receives services at no expense. “We'll still receive the same services from Green EMS, and the county will pay it,” the Chair said.
He also reported discussion among local ambulance services (Ashland, Windham and Hunter) about creating a combined 'mountaintop ambulance service' under county funding; he cited a grant figure the Chair first said was "1,200,000" then corrected to "1,250,000." Board members also noted a county-sourced $38,407 allocation to help pay Wyndham (as recorded in the transcript). No final decision or contract award was recorded in the meeting minutes presented in the transcript.
