Clyde EMS asks Cloud County for $41,870 toward ambulance replacement

The Cloud County Board of Commissioners heard a funding request from Clyde EMS on April 13 asking the county to contribute $41,870 as part of a Wind Farm funding request toward an ambulance replacement project with a total cost of $334,965 to replace a 2002 ambulance. James Quillen and Derek Drake of Clyde EMS presented the request to the Board and outlined the total project cost and the need to replace the aging vehicle.

The Board recorded the presentation but the official minutes do not show a motion or vote to provide county funds for the ambulance. The discussion also noted the total project budget and the specific amount sought through the Wind Farm request; no timeline for a county decision or additional follow-up steps is included in the minutes.

County officials did not commit to a county contribution during the meeting; further action would require a formal agenda item and recorded vote at a future session.
