In my estimation, none have more importance than <br />projects that du'ect7y impact the safety and welfare. of our st~xlents, visitors and staff. In <br />recent months the Have been discussing the possibility of an Orange County Emergency <br />Services ambulance to be stationed on campus; ai-lowing rapid access to campus emergencies <br />as well as providing a more strategic response-area throaghout Chapel Hill. <br />Our staff has worked closely with Colonel Montes de Oca and County staff to explore this <br />possibility. I am quite excited that we have identified a building that will strategically serve <br />both the campus and Chapel Hill. This joint effort will enhance the ability to access <br />emergencies throughout the campus and surrounding aY•eas quicker and will enhance the <br />ability of a[1 groups and providers in a most beneficial way. <br />I hope you witl support this partnership that will improve the survivability and- welfare of all <br />who 'will be served by-the unit and its dedicated crew members. We are excited about this <br />venhlre and look forward to similar projects that continue to enhance the quality of life for <br />our students; staff acid visitors wh.il.e further improving service to the entire community. <br />Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact nle at 919-965-4045. <br />Warmest Regards, <br />Winston B.
