At the October 17 meeting of the Ada-Liberty EMS board, the agenda included routine activities such as paying bills as well as business conducted once in every 20-some years: a replacement levy on the November 8 ballot.
The proposed levy would allow Chief Tom Miller to staff the station with two employees during the day and, later, to improve the station to allow staff to sleep overnight in beds rather than on a couch or in their cars.
