Ambulance Advisory Committee Continues Progress Towards Ambulance Service In DeWitt County

The Ambulance Advisory Committee continues to progress forward in coming up with an ambulance service for DeWitt County.

At the DeWitt County Board's regular monthly meeting Wednesday, Chair of the Committee, Teresa Barnett updated the Board on where they stand. She says they have worked with several outside firms in developing what exactly they need to be looking for in bringing in a service for the county.

DeWitt County Board Chair Melonie Tilley had asked the Committee to have a request for proposal (RFP) ready for the Board's regular July 19 meeting. Because of slow progress at first, that deadline seemed like it would not be met, but Barnett says, the Committee has progressed enough they should be able to have the RFP ready for the July 19 meeting.
