ESD #4 Board chooses Legacy

The Board of ESD #4 held a special called meeting on Thursday, August 27, to determine which ambulance provider would service the district. The two bidders under consideration, Legacy EMS and Jewett EMS, had each received two votes at the Board's previous meet- ing on August 13, and in the absence of Board President Joey Rodell, no decision was made at that time.

During Thursday's special called meeting, which was well attended by interested residents of the taxing district, the Board members voted again. Vera Barnett and Jerry Moore again voted for the locally-based Jewett Ambulance; Joe Echols and Pat Smith again cast their vote for Legacy, which presented the lower bid ($15,000/year cheaper). The tie-breaking vote came down to President Rodell, and the three-year contract for ESD #4's ambulance service was awarded to Legacy EMS.
