EMS BUSINESS
EMSSTIPEND POLICY
Katie Krieger submitted a proposal. Jerry Jensen stated he had spoken with Rich Anderson and Wil Gay regarding the $300 stipend. He would like to create a policy that the EMS service will provide a procedure of implementation for the board to approve. The EMS service would decide how to split the money for those who perform duties for the district. It was discussed that some of the duties performed by Katie Krieger are part of the reason the paid service was instituted. The board will table this until the next meeting in order to have time to review.

Bill Barney motioned to support this request. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried unanimously.
DECONTAMINATION ROOM
Wil Gay reported a decontamination room is not necessary for OSHA purposes. Equipment has been found (i.e., eye wash station, coil wand) to suit their purposes. Wil Gay was directed by the board to inquire with hospitals, state EMS, and other ambulance services regarding ambulance decontamination and report to the board.

The board discussed policy for toned ambulances. They are to go directly to the scene with no detours. If there is a need to pick up an individual, they may do so along the route to the scene. Jauna McGinnis is to assemble a policy for approval at the next meeting.
GENERAL BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATOR COMMITTEE
The board received letters from the Marbleton Clinic, Pinedale EMS, and Big Piney EMS. The board discussed reasons for an administrator and the associated duties in order to provide better health service within the entire county.
The chairman was to interview volunteers who would be willing to serve on the committee.
Walt Bousman presented the names of Jay Anderson, Dave Racich, and Judy Anderson. He believed by keeping the committee small, these three individuals could do the job and bring a proposal to the board.
The board then discussed a goal and charge. Walt Bousman submitted the goal; to alleviate the board of the day-to-day administrative duties while providing a system of checks and balances for the taxpayers' dollars, and the charge; outline the duties and responsibilities of the administrator, determine how this position would impact the clinics, provide a job description for administrator, clerk, medical directors, EMTs, make a recommendation and present it to the board.
Bill Barney would like to limit it to the administrator function only.
Mary Lynn would like to provide overall basic information to the committee and let them examine if there is a need for this position, and the duties and responsibilities.
Jerry Jensen would like them to determine what type of administrator is needed.
The board took a five-minute recess at 8:12 p.m. to formulate a statement for the committee.
Walt Bousman brought the meeting back to order at 8:17 p.m.
The board formulated the statement as follows: Presume the board will be hiring an administrator; formulate a list of goals or achievements; list responsibilities as it relates to the goals; liaise with EMTs, clinics, clerk, other organizations we support, public health, and the public for their input; address the relationship to the board, EMT services, clinics, and public; report to the board with their preliminary findings at the April meeting.
Bill Barney motioned to accept the statement as the charge for the committee. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried unanimously.
The board then discussed committee members. Bill Barney requested Robin Miley to be added to the list. Discussion proceeded. Mary Lynn Worl requested Maxine Leckie be added to the committee also. This brings the committee total to five.
Mary Lynn Worl exited the meeting at this point.
Bill Barney motioned to accept these five as the committee. Motion seconded by Jerry Jensen and carried unanimously.
FEASIBILITY STUDY
The electrical/mechanical engineers will be at the Pinedale clinic and Pinedale EMS Wednesday, Feb.18.
Bill Barney was asked to obtain information pertaining to the rig count for Frank Swaans. He does not have the time to pursue it. Jerry Jensen felt the information probably will not make a huge difference in the overall growth.
Feasibility researchers have not contacted key personnel for this study (i.e., board members, EMS, public health nurse, etc.). Questions need to be written down and submitted to Bill Barney to be addressed to the architects.
BILLING QUESTIONS
If there are any questions regarding ambulance billing, board members are to refer the asking party to Jauna McGinnis.
POLICY AND PROCEDURES MEETING
