are raised the ambulance service should at least he said aught said efforts are being to make all city depart ments self supporting Chelsea like other area towns has been forced to operate with less fund ing while meeting growing de mands The city is negotiating with Ambulance Service of Vinita and CARE Ambulance of Clare more to put an ambulance and crew in Chelsea he said aught expects negotiations to be com pleted by the first of ebruary However contracting the serv ice would not be feasible if an ambulance and crew could not be stationed in Chelsea he said Vini ta and Claremore are about 30 minutes away he said In an emergency situation 30 minutes is critical aught said" It is important to go ahead and increase the ambulance rates in case a contract cannot be worked out he said The ambulance service would be eliminated if an outside service is contracted but no one would lose a job because Chel ambulance attendants are volunteers aught said Currently the city has an cellent staffed by three Emergency Medical Technicians and six drivers or first response volunteers he said Volunteers re ceive one fourth of the cost of each run If the rates are in creased that will also give the volunteers more incentive aught said he would like the city to have a pool of at least six EMTs if it continues to operate its own service aught said he is unsure what would happen to the two ambulances if the city contracts with an outside ambulance serv ice The city may consider at a later date funding the service by selling memberships AP Laserphoto IIr Ttr 4 ft I vt I I 5
