MURRAY – The Town Board voted unanimously to approve a $52,860 contract with Monroe Ambulance on Monday for the Rochester-based company to provide ambulance services in the community.

Murray is one of seven towns in a $300,000 contract with Monroe Ambulance for 2024. The seven towns are divvying up the cost based on a percentage of call volume.

Murray is paying the second-biggest bill after the Town of Albion at $155,820. The other shares of the $300,000 include Barre at $13,740, Carlton at $22,350, Clarendon at $25,350, Gaines at $12,030 and Kendall at $17,850.

Murray’s bill is up from $30,600 in 2023, the first year the town had to pay for ambulance service.

Murray is at least the third of the seven towns to approve the contract, following Barre and Albion.

Murray Town Board members said the new contract is conditional on all seven towns approving the agreement.
