Last week’s committee meeting left residents unsatisfied
Tabernacle residents and Tabernacle Rescue Squad members returned to Town Hall at last week’s committee meeting to find out if a contract had been negotiated.
At the October meeting, an ordinance was introduced to repeal a previous ordinance that states “Tabernacle Rescue Squad, Inc. is hereby designated, endorsed and authorized as the official emergency medical and rescue service for the Township of Tabernacle.”
The ordinance was tabled and Public Safety Director Arch Liston was to meet with the TRS and its attorney to work out an agreement, which they would provide to township solicitor Peter Lange to review, get approved by the committee and then finalized.
However, they were not able to negotiate a contract by this meeting, leaving the committee to table to ordinance once again.
