During the time Dr. Griggs has <br /> been involved in the emergency medical services in our <br /> county, the EMS program has shown tremendous growth in the <br /> number of personnel and equipment required to provide the <br /> excellent ALS service. Dr. Griggs has voluntarily provided <br /> the necessary medical direction and has made many personal <br /> sacrifices including spending many nights and weekends <br /> teaching and directing the program. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> The Manager recommends that the Board present a Resolution <br /> of Appreciation to Dr. Thomas R. Griggs . <br />
