Macungie Ambulance requests funds for new ambulance

The Upper Milford Township Supervisors met July 7, where the Pledge of Allegiance commenced before public input was welcomed.

A concern was voiced regarding technical difficulties with Zoom from the last meeting. It was deduced user error with the audio connection caused the issue and thus the matter was resolved.

A motion to approve the minutes from the June 16 meetings was passed.

A motion to pay the bills including the general fund of $263,689.95, the streetlight fund of $2,153.95 and the highway aid fund of $325,631.19 was passed. An acknowledgment of bank transfers followed.

The only matter of new business was a request for a new ambulance. In summary, Macungie Ambulance Operations Manager Christopher Greb’s letter described a plan to reach out to associated municipalities after receiving American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funding, to request for a portion to be allocated toward a new ambulance in 2023. The request is proportional to the number of calls each area receives. Greb asked the board for $12,000 of ARPA funding for the purchase of the vehicle.
