So the Templeton fire chief says the fire department office will be closed on some days in reaction to possible cuts in town budget, he will be in the ambulance as a responder to calls. Okay, say the chief rides the ambulance with a patient, to the hospital; checking in, doing paper work etc, there is a large fire in Templeton, how will the chief respond to that?
What about the billing, why is the fire chief doing billing, I mean the sewer commissioners were told the Town has a Town Collector so all Town collections should be done there, why not have ambulance billing done there as well, if you are going to bill additionally for a town service.
I looked at Ashburnham, MA, costing of accountant services: $85,040.00 and then at Templeton costing of accountant services: $193,470.00 ($28,000.00 for audit expense included)
Can the case be made for Templeton to do business in a different way resulting in better use of tax dollars?
