Town of Ovid reviews ambulance service contract

Ithaca Times:

(Town Board Member John) Hubbard reported on EMS. A letter was written by the town attorney, Steven Getman, to explain the position of the Town of Ovid Board regarding South Seneca Ambulance Corps.

It included information such as what the town requires of them in order to continue on with them with the EMS contract. They would come to the August Town of Ovid meeting with their budget in hand and go over the budget with Ovid line item by line item.

Also, the town would be allowed to make twice-a-year payments.

Following a discussion, the board felt that a quarterly payment would work out well for both the Ambulance Corps and the Town of Ovid.
