<br />WHEREAS, the City Council, cognizant of the request for the City to donate said ambulance
<br />to the Red Cross, adopted Resolution No. 2002-002 on January 14, 2002, thereby authorizing the
<br />remaining cost of the trade-in value, that is, $10,503.00, to be paid pursuant to the County's current
<br />contract with the City of Paris for emergency ambulance service, whereby Lamar County defrays
<br />forty percent (40%) and the City of Paris defrays sixty percent (60%) of the unreimbursed expense
<br />of operating the emergency ambulance service; and,
<br />WHEREAS, Lamar County has now offered a donation of $7,751.50, or fifty percent (50%)
