Last month the board asked the chief to complete a new policy for new hires and reimbursement. When there currently are policies in effect? Unless all policy/procedures were dropped to be reapproved shouldn’t they all still be in force? No matter who the management is? When you step into a leadership position you familiarize yourself with current policies and procedures and propose changes as needed. You don’t just drop the ones you had. I was at a meeting that a procedure was put in place where 2 people had to sign off on DC purchases was this procedure dissolved in any meeting? Is it still being followed? I'd like to see all the bills for the last 3 months and purchase orders? Where is the accountability? No one is asking to see the bills and receipts this is what got us here in the first place. But agree to pay one that no one had an explanation for. Also copy of the approved budget for 2022. If we are not able to transport patients, we are not making any revenue how long before your borrowing money to cover expenses? HAVE WE DONE A REALIZED PROJECTION? I would like to see the punch in and out of all staff for the month? Where is the accountability? No one is asking to see the bills and receipts this is what got us here in the first place. But agree to pay one that no one had an explanation for. How many people took call this month besides the chief? How many hours? On a personal note, As the wife of a firefighter that does risk himself for our communities, I know that there is currently a signed agreement between fire and ambulance to have a fully staffed ambulance at all structure fires. This agreement does not just go away because of new management these things were agreed upon to keep our hero’s safe. If it is something that just can’t be followed, then a new agreement needs to be reached between the districts and a contingency plan completely agreed upon. When we only have one person staffing an ambulance this is not considered fully staffed. If a firefighter were to get hurt, then what that hero dies while waiting for someone to come to his /her aid.
