EMT and Paramedic of the year presenteo by Doug Greenfield
Paramedic --Randy Carroll
EMT -- Glenn Alderfer
congratulations to both
MRI transports from NCH, these will continue, the patient is actually
discharged from NCH and readmitted upon completion of the test . Sorry
NCH must contact us within 48 hours of contact with a communicable
disease including HTLV III and Aids . (may take a little longer for
Aids because it takes longer to run the test and get results) . Hand
outs for disease control and infection control will be handed out
with our pay checks. This will include what to do when you contact
one of these diseases.
It was brought up to ask NNFD and NFD to have an EMT ride on rescue--
Bill will check into this but it is a very gray area in the state and
Doug has been addressing this issue at the state meeting .
The EMS picnic will be held a Wiggins Pass state park on November
14. 1987 anyone that is attending please bring a covered dish and
contact Frank Millot to find out the rest of the details. Note; th '; s
year it is on A shift because last year it was on B shift and it was
to celebrate employees that had 5 years of service and most of them
where on C shift , this year the committee is on C shift so A shjft
looses the toss but wait till next year C shift looses . To bad we
all can ' t be off work .
Emergency Magazines have not found their way to the stations? Bill
will find out why.
Helicopter staffing and equipment for the future, , Doug Greenfield
and staff are working at this time trying to put a presentation
together for the County Manager about future staffing , and Ideas
please give them to Bill and Diane.
A committee was set up to come up with written criteria for EMT and
Paramedic of the year . The members are, A. Hare, M . Ginter , and R .
Carroll . Any help or ideas will be appreciated and their
recommendations will be presented next meeting .
EMS Substations -- Please any major problems about substations give
to Doug or Bill by March before the fiscal year . GG Station 5 most
expansion plans have been scraped , we are back �o a possible enlarged
separate day room of 12x17 to make this a larger facility, sorry
about the rest , to much money and to many ordinances . They shculd
start in a minimum of 8 weeks . We will know more next meeting .
Station 33 possibly located 1 /4 mile east of airport road on Pine
Ridge road , next year sometime for completion, we will keep you up-
dated . Station 2 will move into Davis Blvd . , East Naples FD
possible in January , negotiations are in process to assure that past
problems don ' t arrise at the station. The location and the facility
are the reasons for the move . Station 6 , Air curtains are being
looked at to help with the insect problem and the garage door will be
fixed again. Portable lights for above beds at stations and a free
standing light at Marco are to be purchased . Radio problems at
Station 4 and 3 Doug Greenfield is checking into a possible ring down
and maybe better radio system for these places.
A new person for supply has been hired , his name is Jack Wampler but
we will call him JW , any problems or suggestions about supply can be
referred to him or Linda.
Jump suits will be ordered in the light weight type. See Linda to
check these out , they will have belt loops and reflective tape on
them.
Uniforms are on bid , if you have not been measured please see Linda .
reeves stretcher will be brought in for a test .
Sterile gloves will be stocked on the units. Also it was suggested by
Doug Greenfield that each employee purchase their own heavy gloves so
that they fit and the type that each employee prefers to purchase.
Goggles may be checked from supply for use.
Shift swaps are being aucited by Bill and Pam because of the conflict
they are producing in making out the schedule and people that are
available for OT . Also IF of people off at one time for various
reasons . This will be discussed in detail at the next meeting so if
you �ave any ideas please present them �efore next meeting .
Phoenix was discussed for the printing of certificates .
An EMS advisory council Agenda will be published before each meeting
to give employees a chance to view their ideas , pleas turn in the
forms at each station if you have something you want discussed , and
of course all are invited to attend any of the meetings , this is your
council USE IT. The EMS advisory council will meet the 2nd Wednesday
of every month at 1000AM at 17MS headquaters , items to be put on the
Agenda must be presented before the Friday before the day of the
meeting . Pleas make your topics in detail so that there are no
surprises.
Please discuss with your advisory council member about vacation
scheduling the old and the new proposed system and remember that in
the designated time space that seniority will prevail , but after that
any dates open will be on a first come first serve basis as the
program is set now. We do need to clear up an overlap time to allow

RE: Employee Advisory Council Meeting Agenda
At the Employee Advisory Council Meeting held on October 5th, it was
decided by the current council members and this office that all future
meetings will be held on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00
a.m.
In order to make these meetings more valuable for all concerned it was
also agreed upon to formulate an agenda to be distributed prior to these
meetings so that everyone can be informed and prepared to discuss
items listed on the agenda.
So to keep these meetings flowing in a timely fashion only the items
listed on the agenda for that meeting will be open for discussion.
Therefore, if anyone has any item that warrants discussion, please
complete the appropriate Employee Advisory Council form with the item
you wish to be discussed with any and all pertient information to that
item and turned into this office no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Friday
preceeding the Wednesday Meeting.
This change has been implemented in hopes of assisting your Advisory
Council and this office to make timely and appropriate decisions on
matters of concern.
The next Advisory Council Meeting will be Tuesday, November 10, 1987
due to November 11 being Veteran's Day, a county holiday. Have any
items for discussion into this office by 10:00 a.m., November 5th so
they can be placed on the agenda.
Thanks for your cooperation.
