And something I forgot to list on the uh 182 00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:03,359 agenda last month, we the district 6 in the 183 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:11,720 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officially transferred uh route 2228 184 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,720 and Iser road. 185 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:24,240 So that is going to be county road 1320 and state secondary highway 2220 186 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,960 which is old 2228. So this has been filed with the uh 187 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:34,079 Kentucky transportation cabinet in district 6 but we just needed to make uh 188 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,079 make it official with reading this today. 189 00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:49,040 After that, now we have um Kevin Connor. Kevin is a salesman with Air Evac 190 00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:53,599 Medicare and he would be he was gonna speak to us this morning to address the 191 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:58,400 court and the public to let them know about the membership opportunities as 192 00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:02,480 well as what we as the fiscal court, you know, pay on behalf of Bracken County 193 00:48:00,079 --> 00:48:05,040 citizens annually. So Kevin, thank you for coming. 194 00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:09,440 » No problem. Thanks for having me here. And like I said, I'm a membership 195 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:13,680 manager with ARVAC, but I'll just let everyone know I I will be your point of 196 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:19,520 contact for the time being, but there's a thanks area right now. So, I I'm down 197 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:23,119 here as often as I can to to cover. I know I've talked to Heather previously 198 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:26,960 and some of you this morning and uh there's some sounds like there's some 199 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:32,480 questions or maybe seeking some clarification on what coverage citizens 200 00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:37,599 of the county actually have for the what we call a municipal site plan that is 201 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:41,599 provided by the county. So I'll offer a little clarification on that and if you 202 00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:45,520 have specific questions I can answer that and I know there's I think a desire 203 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:49,440 to get some information out to the public to let them know exactly what 204 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:53,440 coverage they have. So [clears throat] through that municipal site plan that 205 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:58,960 you guys have in place, residents of Bracken County have area coverage while 206 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:05,200 in Bracken County or if they're picked up in Mason County as well. So and what 207 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:11,040 the membership does is if you're flown by air or any of our providers, which 208 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:14,000 here would be ARVAC, but across our entire footprint across the country, 209 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:18,640 there are several different providers that that are owned by air Medicare 210 00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:24,079 network. So, but for here locally, it's it's air evac. So, if they're flown by 211 00:49:21,839 --> 00:49:27,760 us, they they do not receive a bill. There's no cost for the flight. So, 212 00:49:26,079 --> 00:49:32,800 that's the benefit of being a member. And that covers not only the member, but 213 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:35,280 well, like in this instance, if you live in Bracket County, you're covered, 214 00:49:34,079 --> 00:49:38,880 period. But like on a regular membership, if you just bought a 215 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:43,599 membership, that covers everyone that lives in your home regardless of 216 00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:49,040 relationship status. So if someone lives in your home and you're a member, you're 217 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:53,359 covered. [clears throat] So I think what some people may be confused about and 218 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:58,559 where there's seems to be some desire for clarification is for your residents 219 00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:03,119 to know that if it don't happen in Bracken County, they're not picked up in 220 00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:07,920 Mason, they they aren't covered. So there's an option for them to upgrade 221 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:13,359 to, for lack of a better term, full coverage where you're covered throughout 222 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:21,119 our entire footprint. air Medicare network which we're in 39 states we have 223 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:24,640 320 bases and right around 400 aircraft and that's 224 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,800 if you look at a map I can show you a map I think did I provided Heather with 225 00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:33,359 a copy of the map there's it's real heavy in the southsoutheast 226 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:37,520 as the further you go west there there's less bases but [clears throat] you get 227 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:42,079 you get out in there there's a some fixed wing aircraft stuff in addition to 228 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:46,000 the helicopter coverage that we have everywhere else, 229 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:50,960 but we're also in Alaska and Hawaii. So, if someone upgrades to that full 230 00:50:48,559 --> 00:50:56,480 membership and it's at a discounted rate because they have the membership that 231 00:50:53,200 --> 00:51:01,680 you guys have provided them. So, like it's $55 for a resident to upgrade to 232 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:06,400 full coverage and and that covers them and everyone lives in their home. And 233 00:51:03,119 --> 00:51:11,599 then for a senior, which is 60 and over, for them to upgrade to that full 234 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:16,559 coverage is $45. That's for a year is what that does. So, do you guys have any 235 00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:20,800 questions on that? Because that seems from my understanding to be the biggest 236 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:25,839 point that people are seeking clarification on. 237 00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:28,880 » Explain the fly you home. >> What what because there's a lot of 238 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,240 people that travel that don't realize this, 239 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:36,720 » right? Okay. So the fly you home there there's two different versions of fly 240 00:51:33,839 --> 00:51:43,200 you home and currently you have a plan in place for the for your county 241 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:48,960 employees um where they can get the standard emergent membership as well as 242 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:54,559 fly you home I've sent overwork for the fly you home international that that 243 00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:59,200 plan is not in place but that's judge that' be something for you guys to 244 00:51:55,839 --> 00:52:04,160 discuss it's by signing that agreement for the Fly You Home International. All 245 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:09,760 that's saying is now that can be offered to your county employees. So, I'm going 246 00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:12,960 to get off the topic of the residents right now and talk about the county 247 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:16,880 employees and and what's offered to them. So, currently the county employees 248 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:21,920 are offered the ability to upgrade to the full emergent coverage and the fly 249 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:26,559 you home domestic which covers the lower 48. The the other one I just spoke about 250 00:52:24,559 --> 00:52:31,839 is the Fly You Home International that is not currently offered to county 251 00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:38,160 employees. So, how fly you home works is if you're traveling at least 150 air 252 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:41,920 miles from where you live and you become hospitalized for whatever reason and 253 00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:47,119 you're going to need to continue your hospital care, you as the member can 254 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:50,480 initiate the flight whereas on an e flight that's going to be initiated by a 255 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:55,040 first responder, you know, police, fire, EMS, hospital 256 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:59,200 staff, something like that. So, as a fly you home member, you can initiate the 257 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:02,079 flight and you will be flown. A lot of people like 258 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:07,440 they're going to fly me home, drop me off at home. No, it's just 259 00:53:05,839 --> 00:53:13,280 unless you've got a hospital in your yard and a landing strip. No. So, um the 260 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:17,920 way the fly you home works is if you're going to need to continue your hospital 261 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:23,280 care and you're medically stable to fly, you can initiate the flight where you 262 00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:28,400 will be flown to and taken to the nearest hospital where you live that can 263 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:32,400 provide the level of care you need. So whatever the issue may be, whatever that 264 00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:36,319 whatever hospital is closest to where you live that can provide the care you 265 00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:41,760 need for while you're in the hospital is where you'll be transported to. And 266 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:46,240 obviously the benefit of that is good for many reasons because you know 267 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:50,079 mentally you you recover better if you're closer to where you live or your 268 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:53,520 family. I mean so all all that makes sense. 269 00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:58,160 But the distinction between the two plans, the domestic and the 270 00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:03,280 international is the domestic fly you home covers the lower 48 and the fly you 271 00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:08,480 home international covers Alaska and Hawaii as well as as the rest of the 272 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:12,079 lower 48 and then internationally as well. So if it's a place where 273 00:54:11,457 --> 00:54:16,400 [clears throat] you can safely be if you take a trip to 274 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:20,720 Iran right now, we're probably going to come get you. [laughter] 275 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,800 Hey, people asking that because for some reason, 276 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:28,000 » so for the international plan, if we had employees that were wanting to have 277 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:31,839 that, we just need to sign a document to allow that to be offered to that 278 00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:36,000 individual person, >> right? And it would work the same way as 279 00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:39,839 the current emergent that we just talked about earlier. If someone wants that, 280 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:43,680 they can opt into it for the payroll deduct as a county employee. Now, and 281 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:47,839 all this can be offered to, you know, residents of the county as well, but 282 00:54:45,119 --> 00:54:51,839 that's outside of the the business that that you have in place for the county 283 00:54:49,359 --> 00:54:55,440 employees. So all that agreement does is just initiates that hey that can be 284 00:54:53,920 --> 00:55:00,720 offered to the employees for them to opt in or opt out of. And for the fly you 285 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:05,280 home it wasn't like this before. So I think you may be the only one on the fly 286 00:55:03,119 --> 00:55:11,119 you home. You're not going to lose it. But 287 00:55:07,839 --> 00:55:14,240 » I'm on the fly you home as a resident of the county. 288 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:19,520 » Well >> I I I just called and got it. So, it's 289 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:23,200 not like I bought it. I bought it off on my own because a lot of people don't 290 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,920 realize that if you like to cruise or something like that, they put you off in 291 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,000 a port, >> right? 292 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:31,200 » You're going to have to try to find a way home. Correct. For that. 293 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:36,720 » Yeah. So, so you bought it as an individual. So, so for the county 294 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:43,119 business plan, it would require that at least three people sign up for for that 295 00:55:40,079 --> 00:55:46,880 discounted pricing to go in effect. And to her point there, but the cruise is a 296 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:50,240 good example because And this is something that people don't like to talk 297 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:55,200 about, but unfortunately people do pass away on vacation. I mean it affect life. 298 00:55:52,720 --> 00:56:01,040 It happens. So the other thing that fly you home does is it'll also transport 299 00:55:58,319 --> 00:56:05,280 mortal mortal remains and and that's actually a much bigger headache than 300 00:56:02,319 --> 00:56:08,000 what people realize. If that unfortunate event happens, it's quite 301 00:56:06,740 --> 00:56:12,640 [clears throat] a headache to figure out how to get your loved ones. 302 00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:17,520 » Do we need three employees for the national 303 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:22,720 » accommodation? just three fly you home either version. So you can have two uh 304 00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:24,960 lower 48 to one international and be good to go just as long as there's 305 00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:28,720 three. >> So that do we currently have a business 306 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:32,799 plan for the lower 48? >> Yes, that was that was one of the things 307 00:56:31,359 --> 00:56:36,240 because I I know with the change that just happened. I sent that stuff over 308 00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:39,119 last week and that's what >> do we have enough members registered for 309 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:47,040 it currently? >> There was one the change requiring three 310 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:50,960 is something that went into effect after you guys had the plan. So, 311 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:54,559 » okay, we we'll definitely look into applying to where that would be eligible 312 00:56:52,720 --> 00:57:00,400 for all employees, >> right? And and as well as 313 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,839 I know we talked about the payroll deduct for for the county employees and 314 00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:09,520 that would be a one-time deduction in October and the invoice would would 315 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:11,839 occur in November. But when you start looking at some of that, when you're 316 00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:16,480 looking at, you know, someone could get up to a 10-year plan whether it be e fly 317 00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:19,440 you home. So, if you have an employee that 318 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,799 just doesn't want to take it out of their check or or they decide they want 319 00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:29,359 to do a 10-year combo plan and their check doesn't cover cover that, they 320 00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:33,839 have the ability to to self-pay. The employee can do that, can self-pay, 321 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:38,079 and it would just happen in October, the same time as your payroll deductions 322 00:57:35,359 --> 00:57:43,040 due, and they could cover you. They'll still get the the business discount just 323 00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:45,920 as if they did the payroll deduct, but they can 324 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,559 directly. >> Okay. 325 00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:52,319 » One other thing that you know they've asked about and we've asked your all's 326 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,720 representatives that have been here in the past, they have come to a couple 327 00:57:54,319 --> 00:58:01,200 events annually to set up for the public. um might not be a good 328 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:05,520 opportunity moving into fall andor winter, but I think it's something that 329 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:11,359 we would definitely want to entertain for next year would be to have your 330 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:16,400 representatives with a table set up at two or three events around the county so 331 00:58:13,839 --> 00:58:20,559 that our residents do know that and even more so now with our lack of a local 332 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:25,760 county newspaper um for advertising. I think it's we we 333 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,799 try to promote it but it's >> most people are also on a 4 hour news 334 00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:31,520 cycle. So, >> right, 335 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:35,680 » we uh we'd like to see that next year if possible. 336 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:39,040 » Yep. And like I said, I until I tell you otherwise, I'll be your point of 337 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:42,799 contact. So, once there is someone that's covering this area full time, 338 00:58:41,119 --> 00:58:46,960 then obviously I'll I'll make you aware of that. But just for any questions like 339 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:51,520 that, if you got an event coming up, let me know. And then one thing I did think 340 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:55,760 of that I can I can work on getting something together to send out to county 341 00:58:53,520 --> 00:59:00,720 residents would be if if you guys think this would work is some type of mailer 342 00:58:58,319 --> 00:59:04,880 just letting county residents know, hey, the county has provided you with this 343 00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:10,880 benefit, which is awesome because not a lot of places do that, but letting them 344 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:15,680 know that for $55 a year they can, you know, upgrade to the entire, you know, 345 00:59:13,839 --> 00:59:19,680 full emerging coverage. So we we can do something like that to to get out to 346 00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:24,559 residents and I know I've talked to to Penny over at EMS, talk to her about 347 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:27,839 that. You know, people can utilize, you know, I'm sure they have a Facebook page 348 00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:32,960 or you got a county Facebook page, so you can you can put stuff out about that 349 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:36,240 if you want to at your own leisure would be perfectly fine. 350 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,440 » I think I've heard this before, but how many counties offer this to their 351 00:59:37,839 --> 00:59:42,720 citizens in Kentucky? Do you know? >> I I do not know. I can find that out for 352 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:48,079 you. >> When I was on the phone with the person 353 00:59:45,119 --> 00:59:51,839 before you whether if this is 100% true or not. He told me there were only three 354 00:59:49,839 --> 00:59:55,520 counties in the state of Kentucky that offered that to their residents. 355 00:59:53,200 --> 01:00:00,160 » I was I was thinking four to eight. >> Yeah, I'd say it's not very many. And 356 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:04,480 it's we don't really do a lot of them anymore because it does create a little 357 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:07,920 bit of confusion because I think a lot of people what we're talking about 358 01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:11,599 probably think, hey, the county bought that for me. I've got it no matter where 359 01:00:09,119 --> 01:00:16,960 I'm at. And they they probably don't realize that it's, you know, specific to 360 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:20,319 to where we're at. just getting some information out there 361 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:24,640 so people are informed on what they've got and so they can make a decision on, 362 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:30,160 you know, how they want to protect themselves financially. So the more 363 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,400 information you have, the better. >> Absolutely. 364 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:36,960 » Agreed. >> And add that to the fly you home that if 365 01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:42,319 it's international, they also will fly a family member home 366 01:00:41,359 --> 01:00:46,160 with you. Yeah. >> So you're not by yourself 367 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:51,040 » and One thing I didn't say to there's two ways that those fly you home flights 368 01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:55,920 occur. One would be on one of our aircraft which is for best way to 369 01:00:53,359 --> 01:01:01,200 describe it's like a flying ICU basically or depending on your condition 370 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:06,960 it could occur on a commercial flight with medical staff. So th those are the 371 01:01:04,079 --> 01:01:10,480 two two ways that those flights occur depending on obviously they're going to 372 01:01:08,559 --> 01:01:15,440 evaluate the situation what the medical needs are and determine which which way 373 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:20,160 is the appropriate way to get you where you need to go. 374 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:24,599 » You're welcome. >> Any other questions for uh Kevin? 375 01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:30,960 » I'll be around afterwards.

Like, you know, David and 381 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:57,760 I were talking about, you know, in these rural areas and like I I spent my career 382 01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:01,599 as a police officer in southern Indiana and rural counties and, you know, our 383 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:05,040 hospital, for lack of a better term, was a bad band-aid center.

We didn't have a $96,000 bid and a $48,000 bid for the 530 01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:03,520 same specs that were supposed to be followed 531 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:07,760 and weren't. Therefore, we tabled it last meeting 532 01:14:06,239 --> 01:14:14,320 because we did not believe that it was correct and it was not correct. 533 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:19,679 But that bid process is how it's supposed to be handled. You know 534 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:22,719 » who wrote specs up on the last one. Was it a vendor? 535 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:28,320 » I I don't know that. But the reason I want to table it today is mainly due to 536 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:32,400 to Beth not being here to to give us and Mark could certainly handle the same 537 01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:38,320 thing, but Mark's not been in the middle of this radio situation 538 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:43,840 um for years and it you know it is a three four year ongoing process and we 539 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:48,159 don't want to just throw another 8090,000 540 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:54,320 on a quarter million dollar upgrade that we fortunately enough were able to to a 541 01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:59,120 few years ago. But we've got, you know, we 542 01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:05,600 if if there's so many issues that it had that it just seems like it's not it's 543 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:08,480 nothing that's going to change tomorrow, even though we've gone through this. I 544 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:12,880 mean, we're ongoing now about three or four months into this portion of it. Um, 545 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:18,719 you know, now we got Troy telling us that we don't need to do this possibly 546 01:15:16,239 --> 01:15:25,679 at all through the situ through the path that we're going right now. 547 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:30,960 But, you know, I think the specs and everything that were followed to where 548 01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:36,480 we put the bid out last month and all the process that led up to it were what 549 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:43,120 was asked. And you know, there were only two two 550 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:48,239 vendors that that bid on it. That's it. It's it's not it's no different than 551 01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:52,960 just what we said at our last meeting. If he eaten asphalt or HG Maze or Meo, 552 01:15:51,440 --> 01:16:00,640 all three of them have the single responsibility to follow that by the how 553 01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:04,000 it was laid out in the specs. >> Can Can we find out who wrote the specs 554 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:06,880 up?

How many applied for the specs from you? 558 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:23,600 » What I'm getting at is who wrote the specs. Did Bracken County write the 559 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:28,360 specs or did a vendor write the specs? >> So, I mean, I'll I'll find that out for 560 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,360 you, Kevin. 561 01:16:29,679 --> 01:16:35,560 Thank you, Troy.
