The City Council finds that the current cost for ambulance service provided by the City to its citizens and others is frequently a hardship upon those compelled to call up such service and that the best interests of the residents of the City would be served by providing for ambulance service at a rate equal to existing medical insurance coverage to certain classes of residents and by funding such ambulance service by an increase in the charge made for utility services by seven dollars ($7.00) per month. Therefore, the ambulance service provided by this chapter shall be deemed a service supplemental to insurance coverage afforded persons entitled to ambulance service by this chapter and shall be construed accordingly.
