At a July 6 meeting, the council declared a state of emergency for an ambulance bid where Miller said that cities across the state were experiencing a “lack of responsive ambulance service.”
“We do feel that it is prudent for us to have the capabilities to transport somebody with a trained person with the properly equipped truck,” he said at the meeting. “And with this management software, we’ve found that we don’t have any way other than hiring people to do it manually. We don’t have any way to bill anybody for service.”
