Dan Lewis, Operations Director for MedTrans Ambulance ~gave a
presentation on the services they will be providing for Laurel.
Mr. Lewis stated that the Laurel Ambulance radio frequency channel
will not be available in their rigs for about 6 weeks. For the
time being it will be necessary for the Laurel ambulance attendants
to communicate with MedTrans on the hospital channel (155.280) or
the tan channel (155.340). MedTrans can be dispatched by calling
259-6713 (central dispatch) or 911.
Problems with the local dispatch were discussed. Chairman Easton
stated he would recommend and request that the Mayor appoint
someone from the Ambulance, Fire and Police Department to make a
workable dispatch procedure agreeable with the departments
involved. Mr. Easton stated that he didn't want the situation that
happened in the City of Philadelphia on 911 calls happen in Laurel.
Ambulance Director Sharon Herman requested to purchase two radios
on sale for $695.00 each. This being a budgeted item there was a
motion made by Jack G~lusha, seconded by Norman Orr to approve the
purchase of the two radios. Motion carried.
A list of uncollected bad debts, some dating back to 1985, were
read and recommended that they be charged off. A motion to that
effect was made by Norman Orr and seconded by Jack Galusha. Motion
carried.
The recommendations for the new Director and Ass't. Director were
presented and a deadline of December 15th was set, with letters of
intent to be sent to the Ambulance committee for consideration.
The positions of Director and Ass't. Director will become effective
January 1, 1995.
The Ambulance by-laws were sent to each committee member for tkeir
review and comments.
It was recommended by the committee that the Laurel Volunteer
ambulance by-laws and job descriptions be introduced to the City
Council for their approval.
Respectfully submitted,
