City weighs takeover of ambulance service in special session
Pasadena officials consider placing ambulance operations under police direction after local funeral homes announce they will halt service April 1. Mayor Clyde Doyal urged council to hire six police officers as drivers and run three ambulances, with proposed city subsidies and potential rate cuts discussed. Industry groups explored a $1,600 monthly subsidy to avoid tax increases, while Belfort Ambulance Service faced sharp questions about subsidies and outreach. The ambulance committee aims to decide within three weeks, with further details on next steps pending.
