.8 <br /> SOUTH ORANGE EMS AND RESCUE SQUAD <br /> P.O. Box 700 Carrboro, North Carolina 27510 <br /> March 14,1996 <br /> Nick Waters,Director <br /> Orange County Emergency Management <br /> P. O.Box 8181 <br /> Hillsboro,N.C. 27275 <br /> Dear Nick, <br /> After our Board of Directors Meeting last night,we voted to accept Model 2 as our way to move <br /> forward. Our Board consisted of 10 members: Ray deFriess,Bobby Green,Neil Batson,David Tollerton, <br /> Lee Hammond,Celeste Cantrell,Jim Jones,Tom Sullivan,Jim Lehmann,and Wendy Myers. Our vote <br /> was: 8-for, 1-opposed,and no abstentions. Ray deFriess, Chief,did not vote and will not vote except to <br /> break a tie. <br /> Pending our discussion with Orange County Rescue Squad regarding their participation and pending <br /> acceptable financial arrangements the Board of Directors would like for South Orange EMS and Rescue <br /> Squad to provide transportation coverage EMS 24 hours a day,7 days a week,for the whole entire county. <br /> We also voted that we would need to hire several full time personnel and several part time personnel to <br /> cover daytime slots. As we have previously talked,we still would want the County to handle the billing <br /> for services. <br /> The Board of Directors feels like this would be a successful step towards EMS coverage in our county. <br /> With many details still in the works,the overall picture is one that we feel would be most beneficial to the <br /> citizens of Orange County. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i; <br /> Ray d�eFriess,kief <br /> South Orange EMS&Rescue <br /> wbm <br />
