He said this number also includes EMS move -ups, 21 which is when units are moved to a staging location in preparation for a potential call. He said 22 these move -ups have been reduced. 23 Commissioner Pelissier asked for an explanation of the effectiveness of having more 24 Advanced Life Support (ALS) vehicles. 25 Jim Groves said the goal is to stay at 13 ambulances, so when a new vehicle is ordered 26 an older vehicle is sold to keep this number. He said there is little difference in the 27 effectiveness of adding more units or replacing older units. . 28 Commissioner Pelissier said this decision is based on the number of calls. 29 Jim Groves said yes. He said this is gauged by a "unit hour utilization" analysis. 30 31 Jim Groves reviewed the following PowerPoint slides: 32 9 -1 -1 Operations 33 34 9 -1 -1 Communications Statistics 35 Call Comparison by Year 36 2014 (year to date) 37 ■ Incoming = 70,371 (year to date) 38 ■ Project over 93,000 calls by the end of year 39 ■ Average Dispatch Time = 1:33 40 ■ New NFPA 1221 Standard (July 2013) is 1:36 41 ■ 9 -1 -1 Call Answer Time = % answer time < 15 sec = 99.06% 42 ■ New NFPA 1221 Standard (July 2013) is < 15 sec 95% 43 2013 (Changed CAD from Logisys to SunGuard OneSolution in July 2013) 44 ■ Incoming = 87,007 & Average Dispatch Time = 1:25 45 2012 ( Logisys CAD) 46 Incoming = 83,476 & Average Dispatch Time = 1:52 47 48 9 -1 -1 Recommendations 49 R -13 Hire full time Data Systems Manager (complete) 50 ■ Craig Blackwood was promoted to Data Systems Manager
