La Salle isn’t the only city taking a closer look at their ambulance service; Peru Mayor Scott Harl wants to review their deal with the Peru Volunteer Ambulance Service. He says it’s been six years since they approved their last agreement with the service.
Peru pays $4,000 a month to PVAS. Alderman Jack O’Beirne called that “darn cheap for an ambulance service.”
Alderman Bob Ankiewicz seemed to take offense to Harl’s request, saying Harl knows what the ambulance service produces.
In November, La Salle decided to hire an out-of-area company to provide ambulance service to their town as their contract with PVAS expired. It’s unclear what impact that will have on PVAS.
