Avon Lake votes down ambulance operating levy
Avon Lake voters again refused to fund the city ambulance service. The five year half mill levy failed 1,816 to 1,409 after a November approval to buy the ambulance. The city will use existing personnel to operate it once purchased, with four-man staffing below state standards per the mayor. Federal funds will cover about 17 000 to 18 000 dollars for the ambulance.
