SHERBURNE – The Village of Sherburne took a step toward finding a solution to its ambulance coverage issue Tuesday night in the first in a series of committee meetings.

An 11-member committee, with members from the Village Board, the Sherburne Town Board, the Sherburne Fire Department and community residents, met Tuesday to discuss the possible solutions to the ambulance issue.

The village has discussed making the transition from a volunteer ambulance service to a revenue recovery system, which would allow them to bill for service; however, there has been a lot of discussion about the best way to proceed. The village has been debating whether to go with the revenue recovery system as a municipal-based ambulance service or as a separate not-for-profit service.
