City in rush to hire communication consultant to assist in getting referendum passed.

[admin]

Portage - In it's quest for a city run ambulance service the finance group voted unanimously to forward to city council recommendation to hire a communication consultant. Alderman Dennis Nachreiner asked if the city could recoup the $700,000 debt already incurred by the city. Watch the video at the end for more detailed information.

Concern was expressed the City has already made the decision we are better of to have our own service than we are to go through Aspirus. It was asked if that could be a questionnaire to citizens. Currently the Portage portion for Aspirus is approximately $500k. The city run service just under $1 million in additional tax will be on referendum. Discussion also took place on concern the school is going to referendum in 2024.
