New Hampton, IA – A tense and at times heated city council meeting on Monday April 5th ended with the New Hampton City Council deciding to table paying its portion of the “seed money” to the Chickasaw Ambulance Council.
The cities’ portion of the seed money, $7,295.70 was part of the $25,000 the newly formed ambulance council is to use to generate “requests for proposals” known as RFP’s for the purpose of hiring an attorney or consultant.
Questions were raised about this, mainly what does this money do to an agreement that was earlier reached by the cities in Chickasaw County and Chickasaw County to settle a lawsuit that had been filed by the county against the cities to pay for a two year ambulance contract that had been signed by the former ambulance council in June of 2019.
