The Pulaski County Council is moving ahead with funding arrangements for the Winamac ambulance garage. EMS Director Brandon DeLorenzo reminded the county council last week that $135,000 had been budgeted for the work in 2019, but the year ended before he was able to spend much of it, since the actual construction got pushed back to this year.
Specifically, he said he was able to pay for the permits and architectural plans, as well as the first installment for the construction work out of last year’s budget. That left just under $58,000 that had to be appropriated in this year’s budget to cover the remaining three installments of the construction cost.
Council members agreed to advertise the additional appropriation request for future consideration. As of last week’s meeting, construction on the ambulance garage expansion was scheduled to start March 31.
