• <br />.55 1 <br />Chairman Bird expressed the Board's appreciation to Dr. <br />Bromback for his sincere concern in recommending a <br />replacement for Dr. Cindy Lookabaugh, who was with us for <br />such a short time. <br />Commissioner Lyons asked Dr. Tucker to please maintain <br />communication with --the Board on the status of -the Health <br />Dept. and frequently report back on the status of the <br />Department as the Board cannot help if they do not know what <br />is needed. <br />REQUEST TO SET WORKSHOP DATE RE HURRICANE EVACUATION <br />Commissioner Lyons explained he has not received the <br />complete slosh program report from the Regional Planning <br />Council and suggested that the Board postpone setting a <br />workshop date to review the possible effects of a 17 -ft. <br />wave surge during a major hurricane. The Board agreed. <br />REPORT ON EMS COMMITTEE <br />Commissioner Lyons apprised the Commission of the plans <br />for improving ambulance service for the next year. (Also, <br />the South County Fire District, since the Commissioners <br />comprise that Board.) He`pointed .out that excellent <br />communication exists between the South County Fire District <br />and the Volunteer Ambulance Squad. In every emergency when <br />transportation of the victim is required, the ambulance <br />squad provides it. However, in general, when a <br />life-threatening situation exists and a fire rescue unit is <br />located closer to the scene than a volunteer ambulance, a <br />fire rescue unit is also dispatched. This has been working <br />very well and unnecessary fire rescue calls have.been cut to <br />a minimum. <br />n <br />4 <br />_ M M <br />
