City Council Extends Ambulance Service Contract with Medical Jets for Five Years Amidst Cost Increase

The City Council voted to extend the contract with Medical Jets for ambulance services. The new contract will be for five years, an increase from the previous three-year term. The cost will rise from $400,000 to $650,000 in the first year, with a 3% annual increase thereafter, totaling approximately $753,000 in the final year.
