Iola City Council members will discuss tonight changes in the city’s contract to provide ambulance services throughout Allen County.
The terms would not change in the updated agreement, according to comments prepared by City Administrator Sid Fleming. Rather, the changes would better reflect language used by the state in dealing with emergency medical services.
The ambulances are manned by Iola firefighters, with stations in Iola, Humboldt and Moran.
The pact expires in 2020.
Also on tonight’s agenda is further discussion about a proposed pedestrian bridge spanning Elm Creek along South Washington Avenue.
The project has been spearheaded by Thrive Allen County on the city’s behalf. However, the city learned earlier this year that engineer’s estimates for the span did not include installation costs, leaving a projected $80,000 budget gap.
The 6 o’clock meeting at Iola’s New Community Building at Riverside Park is open to the public.
