Ambulance service members concerned with new business plan proposal Posted
Marshall Helmberger
TOWER Council members had billed Monday’s special meeting with the city’s ambulance staff as a listening session, and they got an earful from members who were concerned by a new business plan that laid out possible changes to the service’s current pay structure for its on-call staff.
The proposed change of most concern to ambulance personnel was one of three scenarios, drafted with assistance from Betsy Olivanti, of the Northeast Small Business Development Center, which called for full-time paid on-call staffing, but at a lower hourly rate of pay than at present. Council member Dave Setterberg had also proposed a fourth scenario for consideration as part of the business planning effort.

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.
