Council postpones ambulance surplus item declaration

Posted

Luling city council opted to table a motion declaring an old ambulance in the possession of the Luling Fire Department as a surplus item. City Manager Mark Mayo urged council to not act on the agenda item because of “confusion” between the fire department and Luling Swift Water Rescue and council obliged.

The item was placed on the agenda with the intention of declaring the ambulance as surplus and subsequently trading it for a “couple of cargo boxes” that would be used to add-on to the fire department’s training facility.

Other news from the meeting:
