is to get Tri-Boro.”

“We had no ambulance on the barrier island before I took office,” Hill said. He’s been mayor since 2010.

The bridge on the way to the island opens every half hour on the half hour from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. –the same times that Toms River currently has an ambulance there. After these hours, the bridge only goes up when a boater requests it. The bridge leaving the island doesn’t go up.

If the ambulance currently roving Ortley goes on a call, then Toms River sends another ambulance to replace it, he said.

There are two portions to this, Hill said, response times and economics.

Tri-Boro is volunteer, and volunteerism has been down for years. The Toms River

Plan:

Continued From Page 1 afraid that high buildings would change the face of Toms River and further urbanize the town.

Hill called into question campaign literature spread before the primary election that indicated scores of skyscrapers downtown.

The actual plan calls for staggered building heights. Only 10 percent of the buildings would be up to 10 stories. Half of the buildings would need to be one-four stories.

The shorter building would be more welcome by the public, Hill said. It would also be more cost effective for the redeveloper.

A representative of the Planning Board, the body that oversees new developments, paid EMTs that are run through the police department might have a better response time, he said. has said that the new plan has not be submitted yet.

Financially, a shared service agreement might work if all the towns sign on. He said that this is a couple of years away. New Jersey has Local Efficiency Achievement Program grants that could fund a study to determine if that’s the best way to go. The town would have to apply for the grant and be successful.

If this one ambulance during summer days was expanded to 24/7 ambulance service, it would require three shifts a day just for Monday through Friday, Hill said. There are three people on each rig. That means nine staff. Additional would be needed for weekends and to fill vacations and sick time. This would cost more than $1.5 million on personnel alone, before vehicles and equipment are factored in.

This is not to be confused with the banquet facility that is planned for the former boatworks on the other side of Huddy Park. The redeveloper for both projects is Capodagli Property Company.

Residents have questioned whether the fi re departments are able to put out buildings of six stories, let alone 10 which was originally proposed. A Toms River fi re official had responded to an inquiry by The Toms River Times that all tall buildings by law must have certain fi re safety measures implemented. These would include building codes that slow the spread of fi re and sprinkler systems to put them out if one occurs.
