Bob Hartman, Director of EMS/EMA was present with Sean Griewahn, EMT, for the discussion.   Mr. Hartman first stated that he has 2 bills owing by citizens that are currently in question and needed guidance from the Board on how to proceed.  His first case involves a Lucas County resident that was involved in a run.  Fulton County first responded to said run, however the citizen ended up being transported by Lucas County.  The citizen stated she was indigent and could not pay as she has been unemployed since the 1990’s.  For said reason she could not even show proof of her indigence as she has no W-2’s or tax filings.  She further does not have health insurance to cover any of the costs.  Commissioner Genter made the motion to excuse the bill in the amount of $225.00 and Commissioner Short seconded the motion.  Motion carried unanimously. 

 

The next case involved an on-duty paramedic from another county that became ill while working in Swanton.  Her insurance covered $489.60 and left a bill owing of $54.40.  Commissioner Genter made a motion to excuse the remaining balance of $54.40 and Commissioner Barnaby seconded the Motion.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

Mr. Hartman then discussed the new fire building going up at the fairgrounds and that the committee is looking for someone to offset the utilities in the new building.  He stated that in the old building he believes that the electric is covered by the fair board, however the old building is not heated.  The new building will be.  The estimated costs for utilities in the new building is unknown at this time.  Commissioner Genter stated that he would like additional time to make a decision. 

 

Mr. Hartman then discussed upcoming equipment purchases such as CPAP ventilation systems for patients having breathing issues and a “Gator” for use during fair time to maneuver through the crowds during an emergency.  He further presented to the board with his proposed plan to update the old LifePack 11 monitors with new LifePack 12’s. 

 

Electronic Run Reports were up for discussion and Mr. Hartman handed out a sample run report for the Board to review.  He stated that the electronic reports take less time than the written reports.  The EMT’s  take paper notes on the run and then fill out an electronic version either at the hospital or from their laptop after the run.  Mr. Griewahn stated that all stations have the ability to go paperless and is currently working with the stations to effectuate this process.  He stated that Swanton is already set up to do everything electronically wherein the run report is sent to them electronically via a locked zip file and can only be opened by key personnel.  He is currently working on Delta and next plans to move on to getting Wauseon and Archbold set up.  When asked for a time table, he stated that the south stations can be accomplished in approximately one month and that all stations should be electronic by the end of the year.  He stated that the volume of electronic reports from the north stations are increasing.  Mr. Hartman stated that it is the goal to have all full time employees trained on the electronic run system. 

 

Mr. Hartman finished by presenting the Board with a diagram illustrating the location, year and mileage of each ambulance in the fleet.  He stated that they purchase ambulances on a rotating basis and that this year was Wauseon’s turn to receive an ambulance.  He stated that Transport Services are not included in the rotation and that the 1993 ambulance that is currently in use by Wauseon will be given to Transport Services when Wauseon receives the new one.  He noted that transport services typically handle various situations such as non-emergencies, transporting the deceased, standbys and long-distance transports.    It was noted that a new rig costs an average of $110,000 and approximately $80,000 for a mini module.
