Perhaps it is time to revisit the ambulance receipts reserved for appropriation Town Meeting vote and actually get the intent into the language so that fund will actually be used as it was presented; to pay for capital expenses involving ambulance service. Another move would be to create an enterprise fund where all ambulance receipts would go and the actual revenue and expenses of the ambulance service would be accounted for separate from the general fund. This would be a very visible and verifiable way to ensure residents of Templeton see the true cost of their town operating an ambulance service. Templeton simply has to look at conducting business in a different way. Making another deal that does not benefit Templeton is not the way to go, in my opinion. Depending on the movement of the next board of selectmen, it might require a citizens petition to make that happen. Probably the simplest move is to have another town meeting vote on ambulance receipts and have the motion worded so there can be manipulation by administration.
