<br />December 1, 2008 <br />Orange County Rescue Squad, Incorporated Returning to Service <br />If progress continues, I will bring the OCRS back online as a special events <br />medical support the week of December 1St and will propose an amendment to the <br />Franchise Agreement to have OCRS provide medical surge support soon <br />thereafter. <br />During my discussions with Chief Matthews we have had candid, productive <br />conversations regarding the capabilities of and future service delivery by OCRS <br />and its place within the system. We are both looking forward to continued <br />discussions to ensure the viability and future of emergency services in Orange <br />County. We will continue meeting to ensure open communication and fruitful <br />dialogue and will keep you and the Board of County Commissioners apprised of <br />our progress. <br />We have participated in thoughtful discussions and consideration of the events <br />leading up to the unit's stand down and their reestablishment. I believe this <br />event has made our unique system stronger through a process of open <br />communication, mutual respect and careful consideration of the needs of the <br />community. <br />Should you have further questions, or desire additional clarification, I welcome <br />the opportunity to discuss this further with you. <br />cc: Gwen Harvey, Assistant County Manager <br />Brian Matthews, Chief -Orange County Rescue Squad, Incorporated <br />Care • Serve • Survive <br />
