Rehoboth Selectmen Approve Ambulance Lease

The Board of Selectmen voted Monday to approve the lease agreement for the use of a Town owned ambulance by Rehoboth Ambulance.

In February 2025, the town signed a new contract with Rehoboth Ambulance, which expires on June 30.

Under the terms of the contract:

Rehoboth Ambulance shall acquire, maintain, and pay all attendant vehicle costs necessary to comply with this Agreement.

Rehoboth Ambulance shall assume all costs of its staffing, supplies, telephone, diesel fuel, gasoline, oil, maintenance, materials, communication system, equipment, and all other items required in the proper operation of the service. Rehoboth Ambulance shall maintain all mobile radios, portable radios, pagers and other notifications, apps or devices to the latest system capability.

Service records of any Rehoboth Ambulance vehicles utilized in the Town shall be made available to the Town at the request of the Fire Chief, Police Chief, or the Board of Selectmen.

In October 2024, Rehoboth was awarded Bristol County ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds to purchase a new ambulance. The Rehoboth Ambulance Committee will be able to use it as they see fit.
