All of this was made possible first of all by the employee ' s voicing their complaints , and then by Doug Greenfield and Skip Camp pushing the owner into living up to his lease agreements and staying on top of the problem until results were obtained . 6 ) Donations for EMS on the Road - The system is set up and ready for donations , contact Diane Flagg or Skip Camp . 7 ) Marco EMS Station - At this point , Marco Fire Dept , Chief and Doug Greenfield has discussed the possibility of moving CCEMS personnel to Station #2 on South Barfield and Doug Greenfield is at the present waiting for Chief Jackson to get back with him . 8 ) NO2 Spare Tags for Narc . Box - Last meeting the spare blue NO2 seal for each narcotic box was okayed by Doug Greenfield . The tags at this point have still not been distributed to the narc . boxes on the five units . Doug Greenfield has instructed Skip Camp to distribute the tags this day . They should be on the units by the time you read this . NEW BUSINESS 1 ) Terry Ortengren and Diane Flagg will be working on new pos- sibilities for zone boundaries between 501 and 503 . The problem was brought up that some locations in the zone can be reached more quickly by the other zone car . This is being looked into . 2 ) Parking at the North Station - Recently , the owner of the north station has requested that CCEMS employees park against the north wall of the office . This leaves room for two cars and the ambulance also against the building . Do not park in the grass or block the drive to the rear apartment . 3 ) Idling Units While 10-23 - Doug Greenfield has ask that drivers do not idle their trucks while standing by . Find what shade you can and turn off the unit . Also Doug has requested that units shut down to secondary lights when ever necessary (only box lights ) beacon and grill lights switched off . Doug feels this will prevent over heating and breakdowns . May 31 , 1983 Page 3 4 ) Education - The county will pay 100% of tuition only for all classes that Doug Greenfield decides is relavent to your present job . Before the county will reimburse the tuition , an employee tuition re- fund request must be filled out and approved before the course is taken to assure that this course is relavent to your job . This is the only way the county will refund tuition to you . 5 ) School Schedule - Bill Peplinski and Jeff Page have volunteered to work on a schedule that would allow CCEMS employees to work also be covered while going to school . We need input to see how many CCEMS employees are interested in going back to school . 6 ) Disability Income - If you still don ' t have some type of income protection , please do so . 7 ) Zone 4-A Stand-by - It is becoming increasingly harder and harder for crews to stand- by in zone 4-A, 2-3 hours several times a day when 502 goes east on 41 . Debbie Lichliter and Dave Kitchen will be looking into possibilities that may ease the unit or lessen the time . 8 ) Riders on Ambulances - Doug Greenfield has requested that the S . O . P . be followed in reguards to no riders unless the Shift Supervisor has okayed that rider for that day . Crews are to check school riders with the shift supervisor and only those riders scheduled to ride that particular day can ride . 9 ) County Budget - CCEMS Supervisors will be meeting with the advisory council to explain the budget this year and how it effects EMS. 10 ) National Registry Exam - is coming up June 17th . Those interested , see Skip Camp for details . 11 ) Evacuation Plan for CCEMS - Hurricane season will soon be here and CCEMS is working on a step by step plan of action that EMS will take from the time a hurricane watch is issued to securing EMS families , getting employees organ- ized , etc . May 31 , 1983 Page 4 12) There are four available Paramedic slots coming up . Doug Greenfield wants to work on crews with double paramedic teams per each shift to eliminate paramedic overtime .

Honorable Mary-Frsnces Kruse, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Collier County, Florida. Dear Conu.,i.ssioner Kruse : Suh;ect: EMSAC Task Force Report. I sr, in receipt of a copy of a letter from Mr. Dorrill, Public Safety Administrator, to Mr. Compte of the Naples Community Hospital concerning above subjeci . Apparently you were rot H.upplied witl HY. in'( copy, neither was Mr. Norman, County Manager nor Chief Ijams, Chairman of the Task Force. I am enclosing a copy of Mr. Dorrill's letter for your convenience. Usually I disregard such irrelevant communications which are writte,l for the rur;ose cf enhancing the profile of the writer, however this letter casts aspersions on my character with sly innuendoes which imply ulterior motives. The letter further reveals the lack: of the writer's knowledge of EMSAC By-Laws and he has :. taker; it upon himself to speak for EMSAC which is outside of his The following provisions of the By-Laws should be considered ti wl;.ile reeding 1r. Dorrill 's J.etteri fi, a;. Section 1, Par A: To at as an advisory body to the Board County Commissioners (BCC) on all aspects of ' # emergency medical services (EMS) in Collier County. w Par B.. To study and analyze all opportunities and problems associated with providing optimum EMS throughout Collier County r.t Par K: To periodically evaluate end report to the BCC on the quality of EMS in the County and to recommend corrective actions where deficiencies are thought to exist. Prior to June let of each year, the EKSA Council shall submit an annual report to the BCC on its activities and accom- plishments and an evaluation of EMS services and needs. - 2 - Special attention is invited to Article VI. Section 1 which reads as follows: "The Chairman is empowered to a Tvirt such permanent or ad hcc sub committees as are deemed necessary for the successful execution of the Council programs " His remarks: "This group and the efforts of their work, in my mind., conceived under the false pretenses of objectively auditing the EMS Department" is directly targeted against me since I am solely responsible for the appointment of the Task Force as a study group - not as an investigating or auditing committee. I consider this statement a personal affront. His statement: "This study was never solicited nor sanctioned by the full Council and appointments and citizen assignments made after-the-fact were never confirmed by same." further points to his ignorance of the By-Laws which do not require such approval. I do not wish to go any further into his allegations which prove his lack of the subject matter. I can only presume that he did not consult a mature person before sending out his letter. For many years I have advocated the establiehi!ent of a county-run EMS service. It is unfortunate that Mr. Dorrill's lack of experience has now created an in-house disturbance. Respectfully yours, C c.c.
