EMERGENCY SERVICES COORDINATING COMMITTEE REPORT Commissioner Eggert believed they have made some headway. They have the Ambulance Squad and its Board talking to the Hospital Board and trying to work out where the paramedics will be stationed; they have the North County and South County Fire Districts talking to each other so they know who in North County to dispatch and have the dispatching people sending instructions to all of the service people as to exactly how things are to be dispatched; they also have the fire and police and sheriff's departments supplying names of paid EMT's to the Ambulance Squad to see if they can't get them to volunteer. In addition, Commissioner Eggert advised that she is working with Emergency Management Director Doug Wright, and they will talk to Dr. Teel re emergency room services and also to see if the number of vehicles and services that arrive at a scene are entirely necessary. Hopefully all this will lead to something good.
