Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service Commission Meeting, May 11, 2021

The meeting began with a call to order, approval of the minutes from the March meeting, and the financial statements from March and April were approved.

The budget committee members were appointed and elections for officers of the Commission followed. 

Director Kowalke gave his monthly report and said that Covid testing continues at the Ambulance Service on Tuesdays between 9 and 11AM.  There is an average of about 40 tests administered each week and Sauk County Public Health is taking care of the testing, utilizing the space at the location.

There was a total of 743 calls for the first quarter which averages out to be 186 calls per month.  There was a total of 193 calls in April with the average time notified to enroute being 2.76 minutes.  The average time enroute to arriving at the scene was 8.9 minutes, and the average time on the scene was 21.85 minutes.  The average time it took to get a unit back in service was 49.88 minutes.

The commission voted to approve the director’s recommendation to purchase two cots and power load systems for the 911 ambulances.  All three of the 911 ambulances would then be equipped with the same new equipment and align with current standards which would also be beneficial to all crews and help prevent injuries.

The meeting closed with adjournment.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Rebecca M. Klitzke
