During its regular meeting Tuesday the Pettis County Ambulance District Board of Directors voted to approve a contract with APSI for ambulance services for the next six months.
“We need APSI to continue running ambulance services until we’re ready to operate,” said PCAD Administrator Mike Gardner. “The board has done a lot of the background work, but it will still be a while until we’re buying ambulances and hiring medical personnel.”
