Munster board approves consent agenda, hears ambulance and police reports
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, accepted the ambulance monthly report (221 runs), and heard police updates on accreditation, a canine fundraiser and hiring; members also noted a Ridge Road stolen-vehicle response and adjourned.
The board approved the consent agenda (which included minutes of the May meeting) and moved through several departmental reports, including an ambulance run summary and several police updates.
A board member reported that May saw 221 ambulance runs. The speaker initially stated the average time as "3 minutes and 26 seconds" but then corrected the figure to "2 minutes and 26 seconds," and said all runs were reviewed by staff; one run will be examined further with the ambulance contractor, Superior.
The police representative told the board the department is undergoing its annual off-site accreditation review and highlighted a canine fundraiser golf outing at Centennial Park with a post-event gathering at Byway Brewery. The representative also said the department is accepting applications for open positions through July 6.
A motion was made and seconded to accept the ambulance report and police sheets; acceptance was carried by voice or roll call in separate votes recorded at the meeting.
During board comments members noted a heavy police response on Ridge Road tied to a stolen vehicle that crossed into Indiana and activated local sensors; the incident was turned over to Lake County for further action. The meeting concluded after scheduling discussion and a motion to adjourn.
Next steps: flagged ambulance run will be discussed with the ambulance contractor after the meeting; no further public hearings or dates were specified for follow-ups at the meeting.
