Buffalo Center EMS reports paging outages; county asks for solutions and quotes
Summary
Paul Armstrong of Buffalo Center EMS told the board crews on the northwest side have not been receiving pages. Supervisors asked county EMA and EMS representatives to return in two weeks with solutions and quotes and approved an EMS fund amendment to account for five quarters paid this fiscal year.
Paul Armstrong of Buffalo Center EMS reported to the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors that crews on the northwest side of the county "have not been getting their pages." The report prompted the board to request follow-up: Supervisors asked Andy Buffington (EMA), Armstrong and Joe Klukow (EMS) to return in two weeks with proposed solutions and cost quotes.
The board also approved a budget amendment for the EMS fund to address timing irregularities after five quarters were paid in the fiscal year. The amendment was approved on a motion by Durby, seconded by Smith, with all voting aye.
The board’s request for specific fix proposals and quotes establishes a timeline for staff and EMS representatives to present technical and cost information at the next meeting or a specially called follow-up. No specific vendors or dollar amounts for paging system repairs were presented at the April 14 meeting.
