D. <br />E. <br />10:50 <br />a.m. <br />Commissioner Peter D. O'Bryan <br />None <br />Commissioner Tim Zorc <br />1. Resolution for Funding — Temporary Lease of up to Two (2) Ambulances <br />(memorandum dated October 15, 2015) <br />229 <br />Commissioner Zorc inquired about the possibility of renting one or <br />two ambulances until the new emergency vehicles arrive in 2016. He <br />spoke about a recent breakdown involving several emergency <br />vehicles, and the increased need for services during the winter season. <br />Assistant Fire Chief Brian Burkeen replied that vehicle dealers do not <br />lease ambulances and that the County currently has three spare <br />ambulances. He stated that the recent breakdown was unlikely to <br />reoccur, and that new emergency vehicles are on order. <br />Board deliberations followed, with input by County Administrator <br />Joseph Baird, regarding the emergency vehicles and repair <br />procedures. It was noted that an additional mechanic is being hired <br />for the Department of Emergency Services. <br />John O'Connor, President, International Association of Firefighters <br />(IAFF), Local 2201, asked why the mechanic position was budgeted <br />for in July 2015, but not advertised until October 2015. <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird described the budget process, <br />and said the position was budgeted for October 1, 2015, the beginning <br />of the fiscal year. <br />Responding to Mr. O'Connor's query, Chief Burkeen disclosed that a <br />new fire engine and ambulance would be delivered for Fire Station 13 <br />sometime in mid-November 2015. <br />15.
