City to continue process to operate ambulance service

AUBURN -- Mayor Michael Quill spent some of his first official council meeting to review projects and aspects of the city.

The Auburn City Council, with two new members -- Quill and Councilor Gilda Brower, agreed to continue the process to gain control over the city's ambulance service. Even if Auburn gets this certificate from a regional government group, TLC Emergency Medical Services, Inc. will continue to operate the service, Fire Chief Mike Hammon clarified during the Thursday meeting.

Private enterprises can do business less expensively than a municipality, TLC Operations Director Lon Fricano said.
