FAYETTE COUNTY, GEORGIA, DECIDED TO meet the economic downturn by not replacing three of their four 10-yr.-old ambulances. Their original schedule had called for buying three new ambulances, one this fiscal year and two more in FY2010. Earlier this year the County Commission approved $156,000 to purchase one vehicle, but they decided to hold off on the other three.
Those plans have now changed as the old vehicles are reaching a point of non-performance. They are breaking down constantly and causing a drain on the fiscal resources anyway, so the commission voted 4-0 last week to solicit proposals to replace the other three.
The Fayette County News has the STORY.
