The Select Board on Monday reviewed terms for an EMS contract extension

FRANCONIA — The Select Board on Monday reviewed terms for an EMS contract extension with Littleton Fire Rescue. Under the proposal, Franconia would agree to a four-year, $2.13 million contract renewal with LFR, start date to be determined. However, Littleton Fire has applied for a federal SAFER Grant which would cut Franconia’s cost to $1.45 million, a savings of $170,000 annually on average. The plan would allow LFR to increase its capacity to deal with Franconia medical calls while maintaining service levels elsewhere. The Select Board took the matter under advisement. They are scheduled to meet with the Littleton Select Board for formal talks on May 22, hoping to sign a contract extension before the current deal expires on June 30.
