have them functioning at.”
Rendo said that some nursing homes in the tri-borough area were using the ambulance service to provide medical assistance and transportation, despite previously agreeing to contract with private ambulance services for their residents. He said administrator Tom Padilla was helping with the situation and trying to act as a liaison.
Noting Tri-Boroʼs request for funding, he said, “But still they need help in recruitment, in keeping the levels of participation at its high and to make sure that our communities are serviced,” he said.
Rendo said the councilʼs next step is to “figure out the level of funding” for [2023ʼs] ambulance budget.
Rendo said that Josephine Higgins, an ambulance corps member, has been involved in negotiations, and councilwoman Jennnifer Margolis said she would volunteer to meet with other town and corps representatives to reach a mutual agreement on funding.
Padilla said when administrators recently met to discuss the reservoir nature trail, the ambulance corps situation was briefly noted, and administrators agreed that an early 2023 meeting with administrators, mayors and council members be held, “so that weʼre all on the same page,” regarding the ambulance corps.
Gadaleta said that she spoke with recently elected Democratic councilman Benjamin Pollack and recommended that Pollack be part of the upcoming Tri-Boro ambulance meetings, based on some ideas he expressed to her.
“The more the merrier,” said Rendo, agreeing with Padilla that the committee must be kept to three people.
Padilla noted that the committee should be set up after the reorganization meeting on Jan. 5.
Higgins said the ambulance corps has been around since 1938. She said though many nearby nursing homes had “developer's agreements” where they agreed to employ private ambulance services for residents, the Tri-Boro squad has been getting “more and more” calls from nursing homes.
She said some nursing homes had agreed to do shared ambulance arrangements with other nursing homes but these were never done. She said the three mayors had been meeting together to discuss the corpsʼsituation.
According to the corpsʼwebsite, “Today's members are trained EMTs putting in some 160 hours plus in training. They currently have three ʻstate of the artʼambulances and are often assisted by an Advanced Life Support unit which are dispatched from area hospitals,” says the site.
The site notes the corps currently has 62 members, active and inactive. It provides no breakdown for either group.
“They operate by assigning crews to cover specific hours during every 24-hour period. If more than one ambulance is needed this then requires a “general call.” This type of call relies on the availability of off-duty members. As in most every community, the daytime demand for members is high. Currently there is a complex system of Mutual Aid that covers the Pascack Valley towns. When one town cannot get an ambulance in service another town with an ambulance crew available will answer the call,” notes the website.
The corpsʼambulances are often seen at community events, picnics, fireworks, and other special occasions. The corps is an independent, not-for-profit organization “dedicated to providing emergency medical services, non-emergency ambulance transportation and safety training to the Tri-Boro community,” reads its mission statement.
“We are staffed solely by volunteers and are funded mainly through contributions and the generous support of the three municipal governments. All of our services are provided free of charge. The corps is run by officers and a Board of Governors,” the statement concludes.
A bolded headline on the ambulance website reads “Urgent — Members Needed.” For more information on membership
