The decision followed discussion at the Village Board’s Nov. 12 meeting, where officials reviewed proposals and cost estimates for emergency medical services. Village leaders said the move comes after careful consideration of service reliability, response times, and long-term sustainability.
Lomira officials noted that contracting with Mayville EMS is expected to ensure consistent emergency coverage for residents while addressing ongoing challenges faced by smaller communities, including staffing shortages and rising operational costs associated with maintaining independent ambulance services.
Board members reviewed quotes for EMS services and discussed how the contract would function, including service expectations, response protocols, and coordination with local fire and law enforcement agencies. Officials emphasized that public safety remains the top priority throughout the transition.
Village leaders also acknowledged the importance of maintaining clear communication with residents as changes are implemented. Details regarding the start date of the contract and any operational adjustments are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Mayville EMS serves multiple communities in the region and brings experience in providing rural emergency medical care. Village officials expressed confidence that the partnership will provide dependable service while allowing Lomira to manage costs more effectively.
Additional information about the contract and implementation timeline will be shared as agreements are finalized and approved.
