Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service Commission Meeting, January 12, 2021

The meeting began with a call to order.  The agenda, minutes from the November meeting, and the financial statements from November and December were approved.

Director Kowalke presented three Save Awards.

Director Kowalke presented his monthly report which included several COVID Response Reimbursements (including a grant as well as both state and city funding).  The DNR Board approved the sale of the land on the west end of the ambulance building at their December meeting and was sent to the Governor and has since been approved.  Ambulance 513 has been ordered but there is no date yet, the company is waiting on the chassis; the box is prepped and ready to install when the chassis arrives.  It should be done in a few months.

There have been four resignations and five new hires to the Ambulance Service; four of the new hires are EMTs and one is a CCP (Critical Care Paramedic).

There will be no annual bowling tournament this year due to COVID, which would have been the 40^th year of the event.  Instead, over 11,000 letters will be mailed out to request donations and explain the circumstances.  The goal is to raise enough funds to purchase another Powerload for one of the 911 ambulances.

Ambulance Service staff who wanted the COVID vaccine have received it and the Service has been registered as a vaccination site and approved.  The administration of the vaccine and the role the Service will play is still being determined.

Sunday the 10^th of January was the 10-year anniversary of the Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service as a Paramedic Service.

The meeting closed with adjournment.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Rebecca M. Klitzke
