Mr. Watkins, Clerk, stated he had received a call from Mr. Calvin Glidewell, City of Leesburg, regarding a request for a new ambulance in the Northwest Ambulance District budget for the new year. Mr. Glidewell advised Mr. Watkins of a recent accident involving an ambulance and suggest rather than requesting a new ambulance in next year's budget and due to the extent of damage on the ambulance, the City could use the insurance settlement and whatever the Board could get for the ambulance unfixed, plus the sums together and take the difference of the money received and the cost of the new ambulance and take the remainder of money needed out of this year's budget and then delete the ambulance request from next year's budget request.
