Mr. Bud Williams presented to the Council facts from other towns around Owasso
that have their own ambulance service. He had contacted Jenks, Sand Springs,
Collinsville. Jenks and Collinsville both stated they were dissatisfied and they
would not advise a City going into the Ambulance Business. Sand Springs had only
been in a very short time and could not really comment as yet. Mr. Williams
stated Claremore was having all sorts of difficulties and had not been able to meet
their financial needs.
The Council sti II did not feel they wanted to give Moore's an increase in subsidy
and Mr. Duncan made a motion to discontinue service. Mr. Spencer seconded.
No vote was taken. Mr. Duncan then changed his motion to give Moore's $1,000.00
a month unti I other arrangements could be made. The motion died for a I ack of a
second, and Mr. Duncan withdrew both motions. After additional discussion, Mr.
Spencer moved to offer Moore's a one year contract for $1,000.00 per month with
a 90 day cancellation notice for either party. Mr. Williams seconded. Ayes:
Holt, Spencer, Williams, Duncan.
Mrs. Anderson asked the Counci I if they wished to discuss the financial statements
or the Audit reports. The Council decided to defer this until the February meeting.
At 8:53 p.m., Mr. Spencer moved and Mr. Williams seconded to adjourn. Ayes:
Holt, Williams, Spencer, Duncan.
