Allen County Commissioners all but cut the strings to a joint ambulance service with Iola at their meeting Tuesday morning. Commissioners said they will explore options for a new ambulance service provider rather than negotiate a contract with Iola, which had said it would terminate its contract with the county in hopes of securing a higher contribution from the county. Commissioners assured county residents there will be ambulance services after the contract with the city ends on Aug. 1.
