The city of Shawano’s agreement with Shawano Ambulance Service is changing its terms after 33 years of providing medical transport for local residents.

The changes are coming at the request of Pat Trinko, the service’s executive director. In a letter to City Clerk Lesley Nemetz, Trinko noted the agreement only has a few adjustments that need to be made at the recommendation of the ambulance service’s attorney.

The Gillett School District has learned lessons from a failed operational referendum in April and made some adjustments to ask for smaller bites when it asks voters to approve overriding state-mandated funding caps this November.

The Shawano County Fair kicked off its 145th year Sept. 2, with officials vowing this would be the best one yet as the fair celebrated the United States’ 250th anniversary.
