At the April 13 regular meeting of the Candor Town Board, Kelly Starkweather and Bob Riggs were on hand to discuss more about what is needed to keep the Candor EMS in service for Candorâs residents.Â
First Riggs reviewed what they had talked about with the board at previous meetings. One of the points reviewed is that the Town Board will work in good faith to negotiate a contract with Candor EMS for the needed funds for at least next year (2022) with the expectation that the contract can be signed in the next few months.Â
 Supervisor Bill Strosahl talked about a possible public hearing in the next month or two and a mailer going out to residents to better explain the situation.

CANDOR, N.Y. (WHCU) For nearly six decades, the Candor Emergency Squad has been volunteering to provide medical services in the Tioga County town and surrounding areas. Then 2020 and COVID-19 happened, and their resources ran thin.
Director Kelly Starkweather tells WHCU a combination of limited volunteers and more calls put a strain on their already-tight resources.
“With the lack of volunteers and dropping calls, we’ve ended up having to hire medics and drivers to be able to take care of our community. Our budget is not cut out to hire people like that. Our budget is solely based on fundraising, donations, grants received, and billing when we bill our patients.”
