Brown, Chair <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />PO Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Re: Board of Commissioners' Goal Setting Retreat <br />Dear Ms. Brown, <br />�l <br />t V2 <br />I <br />The Orange County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Council reports no new <br />initiatives for the next fiscal year. Our top priorities will continue to be refining the <br />ongoing programs currently reflecting commendable emergency medical services to <br />the citizens of Orange County. <br />The Initial Response Vehicle (IRV) program as well as the "Welcome to the World" <br />project have received nationwide recognition and can very well become the standard <br />for other EMS agencies to follow. Ongoing plans to monitor the well being of our <br />elderly population and those with disabilities are progressing with positive results. <br />All but one of our fire departments are on line and functioning well as First <br />Responders. We are confident that Efland will participate when conditions permit. <br />The EMS Advisory Council has concerns about the staffing level of the IRV medics <br />and will be presenting this to you at Budget. <br />We appreciate both the support and participation of the County Commissioners and <br />look forward to another year of dedicated service to the citizens of Orange County. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />R. H. Lockwood <br />Chair <br />Orange County EMS Advisory Council <br />RHL /thc <br />
