VIKING RESCUE/COUNTY RESCUE
Chairman Moore reads ltr from Viking Rescue dated 10/30/08 to municipalities serviced by Viking. Bd of Directors has adopted a Resolution to dissolve Viking Community Rescue Squad, Inc. Intro of Larry Ullmer, he has worked with Viking and municipalities for the past 3 yrs to resolve concerns about service. The Bd of Directors decided best to dissolve Viking and merge with County in an attempt to keep assets within the municipalities. The plan is to keep Viking as it and implement improvements to current services and management. Gary Taicher inquires about staffing. Mr. Ullmer states staff will be made up of current Viking members and they will also assist County. County is very computer-based and provides 24/7 online info into account. County has 3 stations in Brown County. Dispatch will be routed through County and local rescue/personnel (Viking) to be dispatched, but calls are also screened for dual dispatch. Target date: March 1, 2009 to accomplish audit/merger. Municipalities to work under 60 day renewable contracts until merger is complete. Matt Goetsch inquires if there will be any lapse in coverage. No, County has a good working relationship with Viking and the merge will provide quicker, better response time and no double billing when dual response is provided. Chairman Moore thanks Larry for his work on this 3 year project.
