The Pettis County Commission on Tuesday approved the six-district Pettis County Ambulance District map that will be the basis for board of director elections expected to be held June 5.
The commission was charged with dividing Pettis County into six districts, roughly equal by population, after the approval of the district by voters on April 3. The map was presented to the Sedalia-Pettis County EMS Committee last week and met with unanimous approval.
