~__
I cannot support continuation of this project at_the present
time because:
1. During a period of declining economy and inflation,
' a new expensive service for the Village can place
extreme hardships upon fixed income, low income
or unemployed residents.
2. The proposed vehicle is not the one recommended by
our Director of Public Safety and the committee
appointed to determine the needs of the Village
and recommend a program to the Council.
3. The County Commission is in favor of providing this
type service for the County in the near future. We
could pay double taxes for this service if the Village
and the County both provide rescue vehicle service.
4. The possible liability due to negligence or judgment
of operating personnel has not been defined.
5. I have heard nothing but praise for the emergency
assistance given by our Department of Public Safety
and the Inter-City First Aid Squad. I have heard no
complaints for lack of service.

6. I realize that all life is priceless and would like
to prohibit all deaths in the Village due to non-
natural causes. We know .this is not possible and we
are charged to provide services within the means of all
residents.
There being no further business to come before the Council, ADJOT7RIVMENT
on motion of Vice Mayor Heraty, seconded by Councilman
McIntyre, all present voting aye, the meeting was adjourned
at 11:35 p.m.
