A.s discussed in <br />~ the metal consensusfrom those in attendance was that the Sage Report was at <br />•~'C that meeting g <br />'~~ best incomplete and the summary from School of Government was an incorrect interpretation <br />of the information that was included in the Sage Group report <br />• The recommendation being made by the council is that there be' a retreat held similar to the <br />one held appraxinoately 12 years ago in which. all of the parties involved in emergency services <br />ce. At this event we would recommend that there be an outside facilitator to <br />wexe sn attendan <br />~,~,v orchestrate and address the matters of p~~ ~~ ~~ Would be forwarded to the~~ets <br />c~ this meeting there would be a summai.Y <br />~,1,• ~ office and the l3C~CC. <br />At the present time•we do not have an EM director to implement any plan that might be <br />surmised by another "Study." It is our feeling that we ate the organizations that are providing <br />/the services anal the group is more likely to take ownership of a plan that has been thought <br />~~ through b~g the providers. Vile are not opposed to an outside opinion but considering the present <br />~J pLdr situation (]~M Directat)• and the amount of time and funds spent on this project •to date with <br />~~ little br na results we believe that this would be the best route at this time. <br />~~ n <br />~ o ~ We appreciate your considetatian of this alternate plan. V(Te all want what is best far our citizens <br />~~• C~a G~ and ate •v~illing to take those steps to achieve this goal. <br />r~j~ G Sincerely, • <br />.~ Chief Andy Gates . <br />VP' Orange County <br />Chief Council Association <br />36 <br />11/14/2007 <br />
