The Town Council of the Borough of West View finds and therefore
declares that it is necessary that an adequate public ambulance service
be established and that emergency medical, rescue and lifesaving service
be established and operated to promote the health, comfort, convenience
and general welfare of the citizens of the Borough of West View and
of individuals who are stricken with illness or accident and injuries
while within the boundaries of the Township of Ross; and that such
services can be most efficiently and economically furnished by means
of an intercommunity municipal authority jointly sponsored by the
Borough of West View and the Township of Ross and incorporated under
the applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the express
purpose of supplying such service to all citizens and residents of
said municipalities and to other persons within the borders of said
municipalities.
It is therefore the joint desire and intention of the Borough
of West View and the Township of Ross, municipal corporation situate
in the County of Allegheny and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to
organize an authority under and pursuant to the provisions of the
