The Chickasaw Ambulance Council unanimously approved a two-year contract with the county s current ambulance provider during a meeting Tuesday evening in which council members also approved a budget and a rental agreement to house two ambulances.
Tuesday s meeting got off to a rocky start when Bassett Mayor Jim Ashley and Chickasaw Ambulance Service owner Jeremy McGrath argued over Ashley s contention that McGrath owned a part-time service, but cooler heads soon prevailed. I want to thank Jeremy for being willing to work with us, said Supervisor Jacob Hackman, who represents the county on the Ambulance Council, and I d like to thank this council for keeping it civil and working to get to an agreement. This is a move forward for the citizens of Chickasaw County.
