Community members in the Town of Nokomis in western Oneida County have voted down a plan for some Emergency Medical Service upgrades.
The 1.2-million-dollar proposal was considered at a Special Town Meeting Thursday evening.
A Facebook post from the Nokomis Volunteer Fire Department says electors voted against the measure 156 no to 76 yes, with one mismarked ballot.
The addition would have provided code-compliant sleeping, living and office space for the Oneida County Medic 4 ambulance crew, which serves Nokomis and southwestern Oneida County.
The current station does not meet requirements for crews working 24-hour shifts to be able to sleep there.
The project would have also returned office and family-room space to the fire department.
