April 26, 2017 ITEM PHOTO BY OWEN O'ROURKE Members of the Nahant Fire Department: Josh Mahoney, Nick Papagelis, Lt. Dave Doyle, and Austin Antrim, feel the Finance Committee is inaccurate with its information. By BRIDGET TURCOTTE NAHANT - The Nahant Firefighter's Association is knocking down the Finance Committee's opinion that an Ambulance Enterprise Fund is not necessary.
“What is proposed is the creation of a fund that would take all the medical billing revenue collected by the Town of Nahant and use it specifically to offset the costs of providing the service. Currently, the line items in the Nahant Fire Department budget that relate to the ambulance service are funded through the general fund. With the establishment of the Ambulance Enterprise fund, the majority of those line items will be funded directly by medical billing revenue instead of the general fund.”
