DIRECTORS PRESENT: MIKE WEBB CINDY RUSSELL DICK CHILDSRICK YECNY LARRY FARNSWORTH

DIRECTORS ABSENT:

OTHERS PRESENT: Matt House, Jim Langborg, Karin Guy, Jim Dickerson, Rob Chance, Dave Haberman, Chris Martin, and Mark Brennan with the Siuslaw News.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Admin Assistant Karin Guy expressed her appreciation in supporting the WLAD Board and being able to work with a high-functioning & professional crew at WLAD, and then submitted her resignation with her last day being January 11, 2018.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Director Russell made a Motion to approve the minutes as written for November 30, 2017. Director Farnsworth seconded the Motion. Roll Call with Motion passing unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS: Chief Director Langborg presented the Office Manager Job Description. He noted that the SVFR Board had approved the job description, and that the plan was to hire someone from the local pool of candidates since the position has been downscaled, and can add resources such as consulting services or service providers in areas of Human Resources and Financial Administration. Some of these will be through a service contract and retainer agreement. Director Yecny made a Motion to approve the Office Manager Job Description. Director Russell seconded the Motion. Roll Call with Motion passing unanimously.

FINANCE/HR REPORT: Chief Director Langborg presented the November financials. Directors inquired about the full-time employee overtime percentages, and if this was due to seasonal variations. Directors requested to know the reason(s) why and an explanation for the 166% over budget. A detailed discussion followed in regards to the column descriptions needing more clarity and value so the public can easily understand them. Specifically, Director Farnsworth requested that line items 10 through 70 provide a sub-total so one can easily identify the payroll costs from the benefits cost. Column title suggestions, in order: Nov 17 Actual Expenses; Monthly Budget; Monthly % of Budget; YTD Total; YTD Budget; and % of YTD Budget. Also, Directors requested a Cash Flow budget reflecting the trends.

Director Yecny suggested that if a new accounting program is going to be implemented in the next 6 – 12 months, he would like the Board to be able to provide input into the design of the reports.Directors Webb and Farnsworth discussed the billing/collection graphs, and they had questions regarding the last column of the Annual Collection Status graph, in that the Pending collections are not represented in the actual graph. The Directors requested clarification, and to have a more user-friendly version so it can be shared with the public on the WLAD website.

TRANSACTION REPORT: Director Childs made a Motion to approve the transaction list. Director Farnsworth declared a conflict of interest. Director Russell seconded the Motion. Roll Call with Motion passing unanimously.

CHIEF/DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Chief Director Langborg discussed the Online Board program, and Board policies. He suggested that two members from each Board form an ad hoc committee to review the Board policies, and start the review in January/February. Director Farnsworth volunteered to be on the ad hoc committee.

OPERATIONS MANAGER: Matt House briefly discussed call volume, ImageTrend, Operative IQ, training reports, EMT basic class results, new flooring and patient hardships. Directors requested more information on outcomes and/or response times. Director Webb would like to see the ASA Quarterly Report and any trends in labor resource management. Matt noted that Chris Martin, the MIH staff member, is officially starting on January 2, 2018 but due to the workload of PeaceHealth Home Care, Chris is starting to see patients this week. Director Russell inquired about partnering with OHSU Discharge Planning, and Matt confirmed that Chris has already done so with OHSU and other facilities.Matt briefly mentioned a local Emergent Large Vascular Occlusion (ELVO) case who was airlifted to RiverBend, and experienced no deficiencies. There was discussion about getting media coverage or public relations in regards to cases such as that. Director Farnsworth requested an email from Matt that describes the highlights of the week for EMS. Director Childs commented on the Run Reports that are published in the Siuslaw News. He noted that in the past, more specifics were listed such as MVA, structure fire, trauma, etc. He felt that was more me meaningful. He asked if this could be done without violating HIPAA. He also suggested that a monthly total of calls could be shown instead. He noted that this does warrant an extra level of effort to do this. Matt stated that he would look into it.

CORRESPONDENCE: None

FUTURE BUSINESS: It was confirmed the next Board meeting is to be held on January 18, 2018 at Noon, both held at SVFR Station 1, with lunch provided. This is the same day at the SVFR Board meeting so Chris Mahr, the auditor, can attend both meetings on the dame.

Director Webb thanked everyone for their hard work and addressing mistakes. No other comments from the Directors.

Respectfully submitted by,

Karin Guy, Administrative AssistantRecording Secretary

SAFER GrantPlease see the Recruitment and Retention Coordinator’s Report. Chief Dickerson has submitted the annual report. Attached you will find a flyer Firefighter Warren created for Mapleton FD.

2018 AFG GrantThe grant writing process is underway. I met with several Districts on January 6th to discuss their participation in the grant. There is a lot of interest to be included in this opportunity. At this time, we are waiting to get information back from our partner Districts so that we can include them in the grant.

Chaplain Program CoordinatorPlease see the Chaplain Program Manager’s report for information about this program.

Administrative Recommendations and UpdatesADP - We will be changing our payroll service from Portland Payroll to ADP and utilizing ADP’s time keeping and HR management tools. We have put together an implementation plan and hope to have it up and running by March 1st.

All administrative personnel and services are now located at SVFR Station-1. Additionally, the mailing address has been changed to this location. I have submitted a press release advising the public of this change as well as posting it on Facebook and updating our websites. We are also working to purchase a new phone system that will serve both Districts.

At the writing of this report (01/10/18), I have received three applications for the Office Manager position. The first review of the applications is scheduled for the afternoon of 01/12/18. Interviews will be conducted on the 16th. Directors Webb and Green have volunteered to participate in the interviews.

I have offered the Full Time Administrative Assistant position to Holly Lais, and she has accepted. She will officially transition from part time to full time at the beginning of February. I will be posting a job announcement soon for the opening of the part time position.

Fire PreventionTony Miller is doing a great job in the Interim position and has made a lot of progress on moving the part time inspector program forward. Please see the attached correspondence regarding a positive interaction he had with a citizen. We hope to have this position filled in the next few months.

MIH ProgramChris has begun seeing patients and is doing a great job! On January 10th, he had an observer from Peace Health accompany him during patient visits. The observer was impressed and felt the program was doing better than she expected.

AFG Hose GrantChief Dickerson will be ordering the hose in the next few weeks and soon all fire apparatus in area will have new fire hose.

Strategic PlanI have not completed the official update document yet, but Chiefs House and Dickerson have begun moving forward on many of the objectives that were discussed during the meeting. Soon, you will begin seeing some incremental progress towards the FD responding to medical calls, preparing for 24-hour staffing, and other plans discussed during the update.

Local 851I have received an intent to bargain from Local 851 to renew the SVFR contract. I will provide more information after I get in touch with our legal counsel and Local 851. I recommend that the SVFR Board identify which Directors they would like to have participate in the negotiations.

Policy Review and UpdatesAs we discussed last month, it is my recommendation that each Board select two Directors to participate in an ad hoc committee assigned to update both District’s Board of Director policies. Once this has been accomplished we can begin scheduling meetings and start working on the update.

Training Report January 2018

QRT this month will focus on strokes, particularly emergent large vascular occlusions, transient ischemic attacks, and altered mental status.

I recertified Tom, Doug, Aaron, Ben, and George in Pediatric Advanced Life Support on 12/12. Moving forward, we might start hosting classes for Peace Harbor Hospital staff.

New hire Dakota will be starting his part time paramedic training this month. Dakota was a student on B shift last year and I was his preceptor. Matt assigned him to B shift for initial training and working through his task book.

We held a training committee meeting on 1/5, Dr. Danigelis, Dr. Holbrook, and SVFR Divisions Chief Dickerson and Training Officer Larson were in attendance. We discussed beginning our annual training next month and skills competency in March. I am finishing the curriculum now and will go over it with other members of the training committee first. We then discussed how I will be helping Larson with monthly medical drills at the fire department. Dickerson came up with ideas to utilize our task books for fire staff and volunteers would be beneficial; I will reformat the task books slightly to suit our/their needs. Matt went over QA/QI. We discussed medications and protocols. Last we touched on future community training including “Stop the Bleed” and a critical care course, either IAMED or the Pittman flight prep course.

Overtime summary

1. During this fiscal year, we moved the staff to five 48-hour position per shift. We have been backfilling this as volunteer overtime versus mandatory from staff. For February, there will be no voluntary overtime offered to evaluate Operational Costs. Operationally, we will staff 3 medic units from 0800-2000 with this action and move back to two ALS after 2000.

2. Unknown if the Overtime Hours were calculated in the salaries of the employees. The Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates employees will be paid for a 240-hour work month. Historically, overtime was factored into the salaries of the employee and additional overtime was in a different line item of the budget. It is unclear if that was calculated into this budget cycle. When the conversion was made to the 40-hour work week, more overtime would be generated per employee due 173.33 previous hours to currently 160 hours in current pay structure. This would incur 13.3 hours of additional overtime. Unknown if this was factored in to budget process. Breaking down the overtime will be better defined in the next budget process.

3. One Employee is on maternity leave, generating 240 additional overtime hours that started in November. When evaluating the three-month cycle, and subtracting 240 hours from 723.75, the net hours would have been 483.75 if fully staffed and not voluntarily filling vacant position with overtime hours.

4. Historically, a significant portion of budgeted overtime is used from July to November for time off requests.

Re: Promotional completion letter

Ben,

Congratulations on completing your probationary period with Western Lane Ambulance District. Effective January 1st you had successfully completed all the required tasks and demonstrated abilities. As well as demonstrating the necessary abilities to complete probationary, your work ethic and integrity was exemplary!

It is our expectation that you continue to work hard during your employment with the District. Outside of the personal commitment to your family, you are responsible to uphold: the highest standards of medical care and customer service to the patrons of our District; support the District and fellow employees; conduct yourself on and off duty as a trusted, professional member of Western Lane Ambulance District.
