GENERAL DISCUSSION
GENERATOR CONTRACT
Jim Jackson of Intermountain Electric Service who holds the current generator contract submitted a new contract. Bill Barney read the proposal. Jauna McGinnis is to make a record sheet for the monthly visits to be hung on the door.
Garry Eiden motioned to accept Intermountain Electric's service contract for the three generators. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried unanimously.
Wil Gay will get a key to Mr. Jackson for the Pinedale EMS generator room.
AIR CONDITIONING
Bob Johnson of Bridger Mechanical submitted a project proposal for forced air mechanical cooling (mid-grade systems) for the medical clinics. There were no other submitters. He commented the installation of adding just air conditioning is straightforward. However, the Pinedale Clinic is not ducted throughout the entire building. There are concerns regarding upgrading to a larger system, upgrading to gas, building additions, and upgraded filtering in order to submit a proper bid for both clinics. The board decided to postpone the installation of air conditioning due to the architectural process they are currently in.
EMS BUSINESS
SIGN UPDATE
The sign for the Pinedale Ambulance Barn is finished. It will be delivered the weekend of Sept. 13. Wil Gay requested the ability to rent a man-lift to put up the sign. Jerry Jensen motioned to get the man-lift. Motion seconded by Mary Lynn Worl and carried unanimously.
NEW HIRES
Pinedale EMS and Big Piney EMS presented names for employment.
There is still one person in the training phase and five other applications for the Pinedale EMS group to approve for training for Pinedale EMS. Also, an EMT associated with Vase would like to run with the service. The stipulations in the Pinedale EMS Constitution and by-laws state it is permissible for out of county residents as long as they are employed by a service wherever they live and are not eligible for district fringe benefits (i.e., uniforms, conferences). He will go through the required training phase.
Jerry Jensen motioned to hire Michael Hueckstaedt as of Aug. 16, and Carolyn Wood as of Sept. 6 and Cory Greaves. Motion seconded by Mary Lynn Worl and carried unanimously.
AMBULANCE
The ambulance MS141 has been returned and is back in service.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Pinedale EMS group has approved extra funds from professional development to be allocated to Aimee Binning for her Basic training as long as there are funds left over at the end of the year. After discussing how she was to be paid, a concern regarding who would be responsible if there was a shortfall, and the intent of the motion at the previous meeting, the board made a final determination.
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to approve the $600 for Aimee Binning to attend Teton Science School and with the approval of the Pinedale EMS at the end of the fiscal year the board will consider reimbursing her for some of the costs beyond the $600 from unallocated continuing education funds. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried unanimously.
TRAILER BID
Big Piney EMS nor Garry Eiden have been able to obtain bids to finish the trailer. This item will be added to the December agenda as a reminder.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Mary Lynn Worl motioned to continue paying Jessica Covell's health insurance for one more month and re-evaluate at the October meeting. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried with the vote being Mary Lynn Worl and Jerry Jensen in favor and Garry Eiden remaining neutral.
GENERAL BUSINESS
CLINIC ADDITION/POLICY AND PROCEDURES MEETING
The board reviewed the proposals from the architects and would like to decide what questions need to be answered before deciding who to contract with. There may be other agencies who have already done studies that may be helpful as is being researched by Mary Lynn Worl. There also is the possibility of having a veteran's hospital in Sublette County. The board decided a working session would be in order.
The board set a special meeting for Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. in Daniel for policies and procedures and to set a date for clinic expansion.
REIMBURSEMENT CHECK
The board discussed the check for seminar expenses reimbursed to Dr. Boyle. This check was examined and approved through the physician check approval process. The board realizes this was a logistical error. Although there was no formal discussion, the outcome would have been the same. It would have been approved. The board will be more meticulous with this procedure.
MEETING TIME CHANGE
The board will table this until the October meeting.
DISBURSEMENT APPROVAL
Jerry Jensen motioned to pay the bills as presented withholding check number 3020 to Just Stone until approved for release from Garry Eiden. The motion was seconded by Mary Lynn Worl and carried unanimously authorizing vouchers for payroll and vendors numbered 3011 through 3094, DD3246-6829 through 3269-879 and EFT3252-1 through 3272-1 totaling $125,685.76.
