Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service Commission Meeting, May 12, 2020
[Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, this meeting was conducted in a virtual manner]

The meeting began with a call to order.  After the approval of the agenda and the minutes from the March meeting, the financial statements were reviewed and approved.
The land acquisition update was presented and the DNR did not like the appraisal that was performed, although they had recommended the appraiser.  They will move forward by performing their own appraisal at their own cost.
The Budget Committee was appointed and will meet prior to the July meeting of the Commission.  The election of officers was tabled to the next meeting with hopes that the Commission will be meeting in person and conduct the election then.
Director Kowalke presented his monthly report noting that due to COVID-19 there have been fewer calls and all of the training has been done virtually.  He also stated the resignation of one EMT.  There will be less income due to the reduced number of calls but there are no projected numbers at this time.
President Luther commented on the amazing tribute to health care workers that the Wisconsin Air National Guard put on earlier in the evening with their fly-over of the Reedsburg hospital/area.  She also thanked the Ambulance Service for the transfer that they did for her father to the UW.  Ron Churchill echoed her thanks in regard to the call they responded to for his son.
The meeting closed with adjournment.
Respectfully submitted,
Rebecca M. Klitzke
