Vinton to End SECEMS Resident Rebates After Year End
Vinton County will discontinue the resident rebate for SECEMS calls after December 31 as federal funds end. The change shifts financing to generated revenue and county funds, affecting bills above $30 and refunds already issued. The panel also eyed a new rescue vehicle, discussed SECEMS operations with Gallipolis HQ, and planned a TB clinical services arrangement with the health board.
