00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,799
breaking down so what that's going to
generate if the millage goes through and

58
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,920
gets approved by the residents if this
goes through the full board and it does

59
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,120
get put on the ballot what kind of money
is going to be generated three million

60
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,080
it's in there it is part of the
the language it's right in the language

61
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,959
it's three million
i don't know three hundred thousand

62
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,720
three hundred and thirty six thousand
sometimes i ask that so the public will

63
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:18,880
get that also so sometimes okay i've
read it i do have questions for uh

64
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:21,680
for ken
yes ken and

65
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:26,960
jeff if they have it
because i think both of you serve

66
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,160
my townships my six townships how's that
to affect the funding for the volunteer

67
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160
fire departments

68
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:42,240
good evening commissioners um
my understanding is this would have no

69
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:46,160
impact on funding for fire departments
uh the language as it's written right

70
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:50,960
now uh this is specifically for
ambulance service and ambulance service

71
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:55,120
really defined in in michigan statute is
for agencies that transport uh fire

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,520
departments in our county with the
exception of the city of marysville um

73
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,520
does not they do not transport so they
would not be uh involved in this funding

74
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,360
at all marysville however would because
they do operate an ambulance service

75
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,759
part of my question is because when i
was township supervisor in riley

76
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:14,800
one of the townships out there that i
now represent

77
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:20,320
wanted to eliminate
all the ems from the fire department or

78
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,160
emt to come out and make calls
and they also proposed that for riley

79
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,919
township and as supervisor when i was
there i said no i want 10 trucks there

80
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,400
you're going to pay for it if my wife
needs somebody i want 10 trucks they're

81
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440
not
to try to save a couple of pennies

82
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,000
because if
your ambulance is someplace else i want

83
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,759
the first and the fastest they can get
there for the residents that i support

84
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,120
so i do the same thing for all district
six so if i was put that question was

85
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:48,479
put to me
uh like the city of memphis

86
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,560
uh
they wouldn't get any funding of this at

87
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:57,360
all but potentially maybe they would uh
and i can talk to al titus on that but

88
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:01,360
potentially would their funding or cost
go down to the memphis or amit you know

89
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,080
i i
jeff serves the memphis area i mean i

90
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:10,880
could stalk more talk more globally
since tri-hospital does i mean we

91
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,240
provide service to 26 of the of the 31
municipalities in the county so we're

92
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:17,759
certainly the largest provider here in
sinclair county um

93
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,680
the the
language in the ballot if approved by

94
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,600
the voters would would not defer any
funds to fire departments as it sits

95
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:32,720
right now however part of the the intent
behind receiving the additional funds

96
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,639
is that as ambulance providers we're
seeing a significant increase in call

97
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:43,759
volume so demand for for for service is
increasing revenues that are used to

98
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,319
support ambulance services today are not
increasing and that means that we as

99
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:53,039
providers are forced to add and deploy
more resources out there we cannot do

100
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:57,599
that without additional funding and so
a part of these funds will certainly go

101
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,880
to the to adding hopefully adding more
resources out into the marketplace so

102
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:07,520
that we can respond some of those calls
some of that may very well end up

103
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,080
reducing some of the fire department's
need the need for fire departments but i

104
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,400
i couldn't tell you how much or or what
impact that would have it i don't have

105
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,080
if i could and because i'm kind of being
like an attorney here i kind of know the

106
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,680
answer to my questions before i ask you
but same thing with the city of memphis

107
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:28,080
and the uh emmett or both fire
departments that serve riley they have a

108
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,479
set budget i believe it's right around
120 000 that the communities have to

109
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:36,479
come up with that money if they have
zero runs

110
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:40,319
or 150 runs they still have pretty much
basic same cost they got to have the

111
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:44,240
equipment and the personnel whether
so even if it eliminated some runs i

112
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:47,759
think the cost to the uh memphis fire
department remain constant boy if i

113
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,440
could respond to that because that is a
great point commissioner i glad i'm glad

114
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:55,680
you bring that that's precisely why
we're here tonight as ambulance

115
00:07:53,199 --> 00:08:00,639
companies we have the same problem it's
it's what we call the cost of readiness

116
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,440
we operate in this county right now we
do not receive any uh government support

117
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:10,400
whatsoever to operate ambulance service
in cyclone county it is 100

118
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:14,000
fee for service based which means if
we're transporting patients we're

119
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,919
generating income if we're not
transporting patients there is no income

120
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,919
being generated by your ambulance
providers right now in in ambulance

121
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:26,000
service
we have what's called the cost of

122
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:31,039
readiness right now today there's an
ambulance sitting across the street

123
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:34,399
waiting staffed equipped ready to go
upon a moment's notice and i think

124
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,080
that's what the public expects and
demands quite frankly and they should

125
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:43,039
that's the way it should operate the
problem with it is we are not generating

126
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,760
revenue to help support the cost of that
and that's why one of the reasons why

127
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,080
we're here
asking for some assistance so that we

128
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:54,800
can continue to keep those resources
staffed equipped strategically located

129
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,800
throughout the county so that upon a
moment's notice we have that resource

130
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:02,880
available to a citizen when they need it
and i talked to jeff

131
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:07,600
because i he sure he lives in riley so i
talked to him more but i'll share the

132
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:12,480
podium initially initially i wasn't sure
where i'd go on this but i definitely

133
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:15,440
support it and i would support it uh and
same thing with firefighters but you

134
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:20,160
have additional costs now for the
requirements of the training for your

135
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:24,000
emt it isn't like it was 15 20 years ago
they have to be more trained than they

136
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,959
were before yeah and and you know to be
real honest with you and i and i i don't

137
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,120
want to repeat what i did i was here
back in october gave a presentation to

138
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:36,000
the board uh kind of outlining the
reasons behind this to to to help

139
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:40,240
justify why but you know we are we like
every other employer in really probably

140
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,800
the country but certainly in michigan
are facing extreme staffing shortages

141
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:50,320
right now uh we are coming out of a
pandemic uh our personnel are tired i i

142
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:55,440
don't think i i i think i can speak for
jeff as well we we are all seeing

143
00:09:53,279 --> 00:10:01,360
shortfalls in personnel
for us to to fill that gap we have got

144
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:06,079
to create positions in ems that are
attractive that people want to pursue

145
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,560
for careers but but when we get them
interested in those positions we have to

146
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:15,920
have the training programs available to
train them ems personnel have to be

147
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:20,160
licensed it is a regulated industry we
cannot hire people off the street like

148
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:24,480
walmart or home depot or some of those
organizations can all of our people must

149
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,800
be licensed they have to meet a very
specific set of criteria before we can

150
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:33,040
even employ them and put them on an
ambulance and there is not an abundance

151
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,279
of those out there right now in michigan
it's estimated there are over a thousand

152
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:42,720
ems vacancies across the state of
michigan right now so we are hurting big

153
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,519
time and so again part of the funds if
approved by the voters will go towards

154
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,480
beefing up our training and education
programs i would just say one thing that

155
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:57,519
really caught this community by surprise
was we had we had partnered with the

156
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:02,000
community college for a number of years
to do ems training for us we as an

157
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:06,399
organization got out of the training
program because the college had stepped

158
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,760
up to do it however in
july of 2020 i was notified by the

159
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,360
college that they were getting out of it
and they were done

160
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,040
so it kind of left us high and dry and
so we have had to

161
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:21,440
to struggle to try and
partner with agencies or train programs

162
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,920
outside of sinclair county which
becomes a real challenge for us to have

163
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:29,920
our people commute back and forth
to neighboring counties to get their

164
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:34,240
train so we need to bring that training
in-house back to our county and that's

165
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:39,600
what we're committed to do uh with these
funds uh if if approved by the voters

166
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,800
i'm good
uh

167
00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:45,839
ken i spoke with uh chief uh giro before
the meeting about the city of mary as

168
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:53,680
well as obviously they have their own
ems service right and he said they will

169
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:56,480
receive an annual check for 199 000
yeah as as

170
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,079
i'm sorry
no i'm just checking with so the

171
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:03,600
the way it's going to work is if this if
this millage is passed every

172
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:07,600
municipality that collects tax is going
to collect their porsche or receive

173
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:11,519
their portion and then they would in
turn

174
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:14,240
pay it back to the provider of their
choice okay the county is not going to

175
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,959
hire
tri hospital the county is not hiring

176
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,480
lennox richmond lennox so the county is
not going to hold that money they're

177
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,040
going to give it out
right

178
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:27,839
that's correct we'll distribute all of
it okay

179
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:32,000
and commissioner if i could add to that
the reason i think the reason for that

180
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,920
is for as long as i've been in in the
ambulance business which quite frankly

181
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,519
is 44 years in this county
we have always contracted for ambulance

182
00:12:38,079 --> 00:12:43,440
services directly with the local
municipality we have never contracted

183
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:47,440
with the county so the ambulance
contracts the 26 municipalities that i

184
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:51,519
mentioned earlier that we provide
service to we are under contract with

185
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,440
each of those municipalities to provide
that service and so it just sort of made

186
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,959
sense that when the dollars are
collected it would go to those

187
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:02,560
communities who are actually the ones
that are contracting for those services

188
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:06,160
and in the case of marysville and
richmond they essentially are the

189
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:09,600
provider for those municipalities in
which they have contracts with her very

190
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,279
good thank you that's all i have all
right does anybody else have anything i

191
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:18,079
just wanted to explain too a lot of
these lift assists that try goes to

192
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:22,959
they're not billable for
so they we can't they can't get any

193
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:27,519
income out of that and
there's a large number of calls we

194
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:32,560
multiplier and ems go on that are
non-billable for track yeah and those

195
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,639
numbers are going up steadily
one of one of the things that um i i

196
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:42,240
looked at as a part of this and and just
for your benefit in the last 10 years we

197
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:48,320
have seen an increase in requests for
ambulance services go up 38

198
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:52,720
um many of those as as commissioner van
bosch said are are calls on which we

199
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:57,760
don't generate any any revenue
whatsoever the resources are avail

200
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:01,120
available they're allocated they respond
but there's no revenue coming in to

201
00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:06,800
support them and so that's why we're
having a shortfall right now um in in

202
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:12,160
the ability to function as uh providers
um you know ems i think most people if

203
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:16,560
you were to ask them today uh believe
that ambulance service is an essential

204
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:20,720
service it's something they expect to be
available when they dial 9-1-1

205
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:25,199
and
these funds are absolutely critical for

206
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,320
us to ensure that those services are
going to continue to be available moving

207
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,680
forward
and they're also a backstop for our fire

208
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:37,440
and police because they do stand by for
every major incident we have

209
00:14:35,839 --> 00:14:42,160
and a lot of times ken has to call in
overtime to backfill

210
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:46,720
that and uh
without them being there i know we

211
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,399
wouldn't be as safe doing our jobs
in the fire or police services

212
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:59,360

the only thing i want to do tonight

234
00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:40,959
you've got a packet there that's our
annual report that we'll submit to you

235
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:44,880
won't take a lot of time on that but one
of the reasons we're here tonight

236
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,160
uh for introductions we have
bill bloomrick in the

237
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:52,160
audience which is the chair of the road
commission uh greg owens which is

238
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,160
internal services but we have some new
faces out here been with the royal

239
00:16:54,079 --> 00:17:00,720
convention for a number of years but
i'll be retiring into august and

240
00:16:59,199 --> 00:17:06,000
we have replacements here tonight and i
wanted more to introduce you to those

241
00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:11,760
folks than anything else we have tammy
holzberger that is our interim uh deputy

242
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
director at this time
and was our cpa or still our cpa and

243
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:20,640
bill hazleton
will be our director of uh

244
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:24,880
our managing director so
taking my spot the future i've got a

245
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:29,039
cold and i'm struggling here so
that's why i'm not doing a presentation

246
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,880
so um
the the part here is i think the road

247
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:37,200
commission is going to be in very very
good hands

248
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:41,360
uh we worked hard on behalf of the
residents of sinclair county

249
00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:45,600
over the years i appreciate this board
the road board that was put in place and

250
00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:49,120
we've been able to do some great things
but

251
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:52,880
with bill's expertise his background
along with tammy's

252
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:56,320
i feel we're going to be in great shape
so

253
00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:00,320
as far as the
presentation goes a lot of it's there

254
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:03,120
similar to what we've done in back in
past years

255
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,799
it was unique like we all know with
colwood

256
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,240
different things like that
we commend the employees for being there

257
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,360
for us
didn't miss any time where we did have

258
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,960
some cases things like that but very
minimal

259
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:19,919
and uh with the work with the with the
board

260
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,080
and the employees i think we did okay
with that so

261
00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:26,960
that being said instead of
struggling through here i'll let you go

262
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,799

288
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:16,159
start that's a good because it's a good
chunk of money i think the public should

289
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,159
hear what the money's being spent on

290
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,919
good evening my name is brad brensky i'm
the deputy director of projects for

291
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,440
saint claire county parks and uh tonight
we're talking about our new playground

292
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:32,080
that's going in out at goodwill's
country park now the one we currently

293
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:37,760
have in out there is 22 years old so
it's a bit outdated and we're looking uh

294
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,840
and the older they get the more safety
hazards start to come along with it and

295
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,400
we've been maintaining them very well
throughout our our system

296
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:51,600
uh but this one's owed and we need to
update it and we're looking at a

297
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:55,760
farm themed playground that will tie it
in nicely with the the barns and the

298
00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:00,960
farm area
with the farm museum being there

299
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:04,080
and uh really nice pieces that are all
set to come

300
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,880
we're looking at
we just heard that our

301
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:14,000
playground equipment should be on site
by mid-june and we're hoping to have

302
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:18,240
everything placed by
fair so

303
00:21:15,679 --> 00:21:21,600
that's uh quite an aggressive schedule
and we're going to set up our pre-con

304
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:26,240
with our contractor at the end of the
month so we can get everything lined up

305
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,240
and ready to go

306
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,400
any other questions from red
if it's farm why why aren't we using

307
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:35,520
barbed wire fence instead of that
expensive plastic stuff

308
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,440
that's the biggest cost of that product
that might help keep the kids off it

309
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:47,120
right right
um you know it's neat it's

310
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:51,520
some people wonder why we have fences
around the playgrounds

311
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:55,679
it helps with public safety and
channelizing the kids and more

312
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,760
importantly
it helps

313
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:05,280
prevent from like snatching grabs
for existence when we have our county

314
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:09,120
fair going on we uh we have an ex
a barricade fence we put around the

315
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:14,640
splash pad because there's just so many
people out there that we want to keep

316
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:19,679
from having that
