A proposal by the Pike County Commissioners to use $2 million in matching federal American Recovery Act COVID-19 relief funds to help ambulance companies would be best directed to the companies once they respond to a call, Lance Spodak, president of the Emergency Services Commission at Blooming Grove Township said.
He shared his view with the supervisors at the May 3rd meeting and reiterated it again at the May 17th meetings.
The offer was made at the township s third, monthly special ambulance services meeting held April 27, with representatives of various Pike County municipalities. Commissioners Matthew Osterberg and Ronald Schmalzle spoke at that meeting.
