Ambulance operations, library summer reading and parks staffing discussed
Summary
Reports covered ambulance activity (87 calls in May; Mercy Flight handling Fingerlakes ambulance operations), library summer reading registration and increased attendance, and parks/recreation staffing issues around field striping and weekend game preparation.
During departmental reports, the ambulance service reported 87 calls in May and noted that Mercy Flight is now handling operations for Fingerlakes ambulance; board members discussed staffing and payroll questions related to ambulance operations.
Library staff (not present) reported summer programming plans with registration opening June 29, a large dinosaur-themed kickoff and a reported 79% increase in program attendance compared with last year.
Parks and recreation discussion focused on field maintenance: striping (longer-lasting) vs chalking (one-day), and who pays or schedules the work when games occur on weekends. Parks staff generally work Monday–Thursday and recreation staff schedule programs; board members said the recreation director must decide how to handle weekend prep and whether to bill recreation accounts for highway or parks labor when outside help is used.
The board also heard the fire marshal report on inspections and burning permits and that a siren complaint had been resolved.
