Motion passes unanimously at 8:01 PM. Article 16 To see if the Town will vote to create a full-time position of EMS (Emergency Medical Service) Coordinator for the Fire &Rescue Department to start July 1, 2012 and to appropriate and transfer from the Ambulance Receipts Account $90,331 with said funds to be distributed as follows: $60,380 to the Fire & Rescue Department FY 2013 Salary Account; $6,000 for the Fire & Rescue Expense Account, $876 for Medicare Account, $23,040 Medical Insurance Account and $35 for Group Life Insurance, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: This article creates the position of EMS coordinator as recommend by the 2011 MRI Fire Management Study which states "The department should create the position of EMS Coordinator. The duties of EMS quality improvement, EMS training, collaboration with the EMS medical director and oversight of EMT recertification cannot be properly handled on a part-time basis by a shift supervisor. In order to maintain an excellent level of patient care each and every EMS call must be carefully critiqued and deficiencies must be corrected through training and supervision. The volume of EMS calls in Mashpee justifies the availability of a full-time EMS coordinator to fulfill this position...." The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 4-0, 1 absent. Finance Committee recommends approval by a vote of 5-0, 2 absent. Motion made by Selectman Wayne Taylor.
