Unidentified Speaker (staff) requested two additional ambulance trucks for the upcoming budget cycle, citing a fleet of eight trucks with four over 200,000 miles and two over 250,000 miles. He proposed supervisors be removed from frontline trucks (backfill positions) and said supervisors-on-trucks impedes compliance and accountability. He also described a new mutual-aid policy to decline low-acuity calls outside Newberry County to keep resources local.
