Co~ncilman Butterworth stated in part that he now has serious reser- vations as to whether or not the City should go into the ambulance bu$iness and submitted that the private ambulance Company has been rendering satisfactory service for a number of years without complaints to his knowledge. He referred to some of the details in the report and noted in particular the low premium listed for casualty insurance which seems to him to be far out of line and totally unrealistic. He explored what could happen if only one liability suit would have to be defended. He agreed with a suggestion that staff check some experi- ence figures with other cities and also confer with casualty companies in this regard; that perhaps this could assist Council in its ~on- elLlsions. Co~ncilman Helms then MOVED that the matter be CONTINUED to the next regular Council meeting and that staff be instructed to obtain as much data as is available from other cities which are operating ambulance services and from casualty companies. Councilman Scott seconded the motion with the observation that he would hope a determination can be made at the next meeting primarily for the benefit of the private ambulance service company so it would not be kept waiting any longer. Motion unanimously carried. Staff report on the bids received for the purchase of an ambulance for city use was continued until the next regular meeting.
