V. Report by Police Chief:
1 . Monthly Report: Chief Oestrech passed out the November monthly.

This year’s donations for the Counter ACT program was down $800 from last year. Cost to do the program is about $1,700.

4. Part-time Help: No action taken at this time as there is no money budgeted for in the 2010 budget. Cost to start a part-time officer would be $1,500.

VI. Report by Emergency Medical Coordinator:
1. Monthly Report: EMS Coordinator Sue Ludtke passed out the November monthly. There were 37 runs in November, 2009 and that 29 of the runs were for Juneau residents compared to 43 runs in 2008. Sue past out a report of who was paying for the WEMSA conference.

2. Increase Payment Request: Sue brought to the committees attention that back in September, 2008 the council passed a resolution to increase the fees for residents ($425) and non-residents ($475) and that these fees were never forwarded to LifeQuest (Resolution 51-2008). Increase was to cover the cost of the ECG machine. Would like to also increase the BLS service for on scene care without transport as the ambulance goes to residents to help patients back in their beds and they do not wish to be transported however taxpayers have to pay for the EMS personnel and the cost to run the ambulance. Currently there are 53 non-transport requests with a loss of approximately $7,000 for non-transport fees. Increase oxygen from $20 to $40 and also spinal immobilization to $100 and to charge for on-scene care to $150 for non-transport. Motion by J. Buske, second by J. Link to recommend to council the increase for oxygen to $40 and spinal immobilization to $100 and to charge for on scene care with no transport $150. Motion carried.

3. CPR Classes: Three EMS members attended a CPR class at the cost of $60. These people will train the Fire, EMS, Police Department and Utility employees. Place on January agenda.

4. Approve By-law Changes: By-laws have been drawn up with just a few changes and committee has read them. Chairman Affeld asked if the by-laws were approved by the EMS members, which they were. Sue indicated that a member must run in order to get paid. J. Link asked that according to the by-laws a driver can become an officer. Chairman Affeld said in the job description that a driver is eligible to be an officer according to the job description. Committee has asked that the item for a driver to become an officer be brought to the before the group and discussed and placed on the January agenda as the committee feels that a driver who is not an EMT should not be an officer.

5. Standard Operating Procedures/Dress Code: Sue contacted other local EMS units about dress codes. Horicon has no dress code, Lebanon: dark pants and shoes with steel toe, Beaver Dam: dark pants, shirts, no tattoos, or piercings showing, Mayville: dark pants, EMS T-shirt and tennis shoes, Theresa does not have a dress code. A dress code would make the Juneau EMS look professional. Sue indicated that some of the members go on a run with flip flops, short shorts, low tops, tattoos and feels that this is not professional looking. .J. Link agreed that a dress code was necessary but the city would not pay for uniforms and that the members should dress professionally. Sue stated that all members have orange pants and jackets and are expected to wear these when they are on a call however that is not always the case. Beaver dam hospital has addressed that the EMS should be visible (i.e. Juneau EMS T-shirts, polo shirts anything indicating that they are members of the EMS). Committee has stated that turn out gear is to be worn all the time during a call and at the hospital unless they have appropriate clothing underneath that indicates they are from the Juneau EMS. If this is not followed disciplinary action will be taken. Officers are to get together and work on a disciplinary action policy.

VII. Report by Fire Chief:
1. Monthly Report: FireChief Ninmann advised that there were 9 calls for November.

2. False Alarm Update: Attorney Sciascia has looked at the wording for false alarm policy and has no problem with it but did ask why the city was going to implement this policy. Ninmann explained about the false alarm calls and that when the fire department responds to a false alarm the city taxpayers pay for the manpower and the fire truck that responds and that the facility where the alarm is from should be held responsible. Ninmann is to meet with the Clearview Administrator and discuss the charges. Motion by J. Buske, second by J. Link to recommend to council the False Alarm policy. Motion carried.

5. Applications Fees for Bartenders and Liquor License. Chief Oestreich stated that the two applications that he just received and presented to the committee had two different fees and that when doing background checks the cost is $5 for each applicant on the license. There is no consistency and would like for all bartenders license, liquor license and solicitors license to be directly delivered to the police department and not up at city hall at which time the police department will check the license to make sure that all the proper information is on the license and to make sure that all fees are accounted for.

Complaints are up, there has been a request to have an officer down at the school and currently there is no money and manpower to do this. There are a number of times when several calls come in and there is only one officer working and the county would have to take the call. Part-timers can not always fill in the open shifts. For the size of our community there should be 1 officer for every 500 people and Juneau should have at least 5 ½ officers. Annette Thompson from Dodgeland is going to look into grant money for a liaison officer. Overtime would be cut down with another full-time officer. Motion by J. Link, second by J.

Curt Ninmann stated that the fire department did a favor for the county and in turn the county sealed the cracks between the building and concrete. No one was aware of when this was going to happen and the county just showed up. Someone should have been informed of this. Affeld stated that the city was going to bill the public safety building for street sweeping to clean up the mess that was left after the county was done sealing and did not think this was right to bill one city department to another. Curt Ninmann stated that if the storm sewer needed to be clean then they would bill the DPW as well.

One fire department did make an offer but it was refused. They put a bid in at $10,000.00. Will list online for $17,000 and will have to pay commission and could receive a lesser offer. Fire dept will get back with a counter offer.

5. 2009 Grants : Curt submitted a grant in the amount of $20,000 for the EMS for gear and $45,000 for the fire department for breathing air compressors.

The only things that would change would be any elected person and people can contact city hall for that information.

3. Curt Ninmann will also be attending WEMSA and would like permission from the committee to be paid for his mileage. He will be attending whether or not committee would pay for mileage.

IX. Report from Emergency Management Director:
1. Monthly Report: EM Director Dave Beal reported that 2008 was a busy year with the amount of snow that we have received as well as the June flooding. Departments worked well together. Dave did receive a check from FEMA in the amount of $26,441.27. Juneau came out very well. A portion of the $5,481 will be spent to wax the floors at the public safety building and the rest will go towards pumps and hoses. Pam will do cost comparison spreadsheet. Dave also stated that his name plate by his door is being turned over and would appreciate party or parties doing this to stop as this is considered vandalism.

Old Business : None

New Business : Sue Luedke would like permission to use public safety building on February 19 th to do CPR training for Glasfloss employees. Committee sees no problem. Sue also brought it to the committee’s attention that just this afternoon she was confronted by a reliable source that things are being said about the way the fire department responded to the recent traffic accident that was a fatality and that this is being said down at WEMSA which is currently going on at this time. She would like to know how to address the situation and the person(s) who is saying these things as that person was not even on the EMS call. Committee stated that she should get documentation from this person and then confront the person(s) as this can be considered insubordination. If this would continue then the individual(s) would be referred to the personnel committee. Committee stated that department heads should document everything that happens in their departments. Cathy Firari mentioned that she had a customer that wanted to know what to do with old batteries. Cathy will contact other agencies to see what they do with old batteries.

Mayoral Comments : Mayor Bosak stated that the newspaper has contacted him as to when the Fire and EMS will be taking pictures of new officers and to do it as soon as possible and to provide proper names.
