CHISHOLM â The City of Chisholm is cutting ties with the ambulance service provider that has served the community for the past 38 years.
At its regular meeting on Wednesday the council voted to allow its current 10-year contract with Longyear, Inc., dba Chisholm Ambulance Service to expire on its original date of Dec. 31 and move ahead with a city-run ambulance service. The council also discussed a job description for an ambulance director. The council voted to cancel a contract between the city and the firm Baker-Tilly for a feasibility study pertaining to the ambulance service.
The Chisholm Tribune Press reached out to Joe Sertich, President and CEO of Longyear, Inc. on Thursday for his reaction to the councilâs decision. Sertich offered the following statement in response.
CHISHOLM â Chisholm residents will soon need a permit to park or store more than five vehicles on their property.
On Wednesday, the city council voted 5-1 to approve the second reading of an amendment to city code 94.05, pertaining to nuisance parking and storage.
The amendment is aimed at reducing blight, and limits the number of vehicles to five that may be parked or stored anywhere outside without a permit. The permits are free and are good for five years, with the option to renew for another five years.
Mayor John Champa at the city council meeting on Wednesday addressed concerns aired by a resident during the public participation portion earlier in the meeting.
