Effingham County, IL – The Effingham County Board has scheduled a special meeting for this Thursday regarding the closed session ambulance oversight minutes.
This issue to amend came to light during Last September’s Board Meeting.
In the released minutes from said meeting, the board had voted to amend city ordinance #14-93. A motion was made by County Chair Karen Luchtefeld, and seconded by Joe Thoele.
With the motion on the table the board had a unanymous vote to pass the motion. However, there was a disapproving vote made my member John Perry.
The amended ordinance allows the board to name Abbott Ambulance as the primary, and exclusive ambulance company for the county.
The meeting is set to be open to the public for those voicing concerns about the issue.
The Special Meeting will Occur on October 5th, 2017 at 3:30 p.m.
Released Minutes From September 18, 2017
