City Council signs EMS agreement, approves school budget
ELLSWORTH — Councilors unanimously approved on May 17 a three-year emergency medical services agreement with Northern Light Medical Transport (NLMT) but with reluctance because of concerns over ambulance coverage within the city and the lack of specific details of the services to be provided.
“I’ll hold my nose while I vote for it,” Councilor Marc Blanchette said.
The discussion and vote on signing the agreement had been tabled since December, as City Manager Glenn Moshier worked to negotiate the terms. However, NLMT held to its standard agreement used with other municipalities in the county.
