The City of Kokomo probably won’t be getting back into the business of transporting patients via ambulance in 2023. The proposed budget passed on first reading by the Kokomo Common Council last week is notable for the conspicuous absence of the service many believe is needed.
According to Mayor Tyler Moore, including the ambulance service in the budget without having sufficient staffing isn’t prudent. Manpower is his focus in 2023.
“The way to bring ambulance service back is to get bodies on the department,” said Moore. “The only way to bring it back right now is to have scheduled overtime. We’re still looking at the possibility. It’s not off the table. If there was a way to phase it in with the amount of staffing we have now, it would be possible. But the last time the city provided ambulance service, we had 122 firefighters and no property tax caps.”
