The Newton City Council meeting Monday might will include a second consideration of adding the delinquent ambulance service fees.
The first consideration was presented at the May 5 council meeting. Newton Fire Department Chief Jarrod Wellik stated that the additional delinquent ambulance service fees of 25 percent are currently coming out of the fire department budget and the delinquent fees will save the department money. The first consideration passed unanimously.
The council meeting also will feature three presentations, including a Thunder Nites update from Thunder Nites Executive Director Libby Marshall, minimum housing rental code from Newton Fire Department Fire Marshall Mike Knoll, and streets and paving from Newton Public Works Director Keith Laube.
