OZARK — The City of Ozark will officially provide emergency medical services for the south end of Dale County after the city council Tuesday night unanimously authorized Mayor Mark Blankenship
The towns of Pinckard, Newton, Midland City, Grimes and Napier Field had been served by South Dale EMS until Saturday at 7 p.m.

“I think that this has happened because of the special bond that we formed when the Dale County Commission decided to leave us out of the ARPA-American Rescue Plan Act funds distribution,” Blankenship said, referring to the commission’s distribution of approximately $1.6 million to be distributed to EMS providers in 10 planned quarterly distributions, the first of which has been given.
City Attorney Joe W. Adams told the council that he agreed with Blankenship’s assessment that this agreement between the city and the five municipalities at the south end of the county is a positive step forward. “It puts the City of Ozark in a relationship with other municipalities that might not have been there in the past because of distance,” he said.
