Ambulance Commission discusses raising subsidy rate from $15 to $20 Posted
Jodi Summit
TOWER- A proposal to raise the 2021 per capita subsidy rate from $15 to $20, which helps fund the purchase of new ambulances, will be forwarded from the representatives of the Tower Ambulance Commission to their respective governmental bodies for approval.
The former head of the city’s ambulance service, Steve Altenburg, had requested an increase in the ambulance subsidy last year, but that request was denied and the commission instead opted to approve a one-year agreement at the previous rate of $15.
