Columbia City Council April 4, 2005: Rescue Squad request for aid delayed Photos, Bill Corbin, Bill Corbin and Council, with this report Bill Corbin of the Adair County Rescue Squad was the only citizen to ask for a spot on the April 4, 2005, Columbia City Council agenda. Mr. Corbin had requested, in March, that the City blacktop the portion of the street to the Rescue Squad Building which is in the City.

He said that the Squad had been in debt as much as $250,000, but that the Bingo Hall had pulled them out and they've been able to get additional equipment and training because of Bingo income. He specified that recent training will allow the Squad to do deep water recovery and rescue from caves. City Police Chief Mark Harris told the Council that the Rescue Squad has been helpful to his department, especially at the time of fires and traffic accidents. Senior Councilman Larry Marshall said that the city might be willing to donate to the overall Rescue effort, even though the city is prohibited by ordinance from helping with the paving request. "But we'd want to see a financial first," he said. Mr. Corbin said that the Rescue Squad should have one after the heavy April tax season is over.
