Public Comment: The following town residents
and other interested parties offered their comments on the proposed
change of ambulance service in the town. City of Oswego Fire
Chief Ed Geers, town residents, John Geraci, George Feeney,
Dave White, Doug Malone, Jim Finn, Ron Nelson, Eric Mills, Robert
Malone, and Greg Smith. Their concerns were why the board wanted
to change services, would town taxes go down, is only about
money, why only one ambulance in the town, can more research
be done and a committee be formed to look into billing issues
etc, have there been any complaints about our current ambulance
service with the City of Oswego? Ambulance owner Jim Mentor
answered questions posed by the town residents about his proposed
service to the town. Comments from Councilor Herrmann, Mahaney
and Supervisor Mullen stated that research has been done, the
billing is an issue, we can’t get any help from the college
to get billing information on the students. Supervisor Mullen
stated she would like to table the issue at this time.
