Belpre City Council voted unanimously July 13 to adopt an emergency ordinance authorizing the city to enter an emergency purchase agreement with Penn Care Inc. to acquire a Medix Metro Express Type III on a Ford E-350 chassis. Mrs. Dennis introduced the ordinance and moved to suspend the rule requiring readings on three separate days; the motion passed by voice vote with all members present voting aye.
Council members said the supplier would allow the city to keep a loaner vehicle until the new ambulance's wrap was completed. According to the mayor, the vendor expected a "short time" until delivery. The ordinance was recorded as Ordinance #5, 2026-2027 and carries no additional procedural conditions in the transcript. Council adjourned at 7:31 p.m. after the vote.
