The only matter of new business was a request for a new ambulance. In summary, Macungie Ambulance Operations Manager Christopher Greb’s letter described a plan to reach out to associated municipalities after receiving American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funding, to request for a portion to be allocated toward a new ambulance in 2023.
