The Nome Common Council finalized the city's fiscal year 2025 budget during its meeting on Monday, June 10. The approved General Municipal Fund Budget stands at $17,948,567.33, reflecting a slight decrease from the 2024 fiscal year's amended budget.
In a move to enhance emergency medical services, the City of Nome has opted to transfer the operation of its ground ambulance services to Norton Sound Health Corporation (NSHC). This change, scheduled to take effect at 12:01 a.m. on April 30, aims to ensure a more reliable and efficient response to medical emergencies. The decision was finalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement on April 19.
