…and street sweeping. Rockford Register Star:
The City Council Finance and Personnel Committee and City Council approved a controversial request involving ambulance service at meetings Monday night.
The committee’s aldermen voted unanimously to let city staff develop a request for proposals from the private sector for citywide ambulance response. The Rockford Fire Department provides the service, but city leaders have been discussing the possibility of outsourcing the function for the past year.
Rockford’s consultant and its Budget & Finance Advisory Committee consider the functions “potential outsourcing recommendations” but they won’t know for sure until proposals come in.
