Sheriffs Report: There is a large bill this month due to an
emergency MRSA disinfection service in the courthouse. Sheriff
Nichols has had trouble with the current, older scanners that do
routine, timed checks on the residents and jailers. He received a
bid for 5 new scanners for the jail totaling $8,096, which included
parts, software, and shipping. Sheriff will find out if a service
agreement is included in the price. He has the money available in
his budget, but wanted to let the committee know. A motion was made
by Mr. Farmer, seconded by Mr. Hepler to approve the bid for new
scanners . Motion passed.
Budget Review: The auditors instructed the sheriff to take
the money for the scanners out of the designated line item instead
of transferring funds around; the line item will show a negative
balance.
A motion was made by Mr. Farmer, seconded by Mr. Rohlfs, to pay the
bills as presented for payment. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Mrs. Davenport, seconded by Mr. Farmer, to
adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 7:15 pm.

calls, 6 treatment/no transport calls, 19 routine calls, and 34
calls that refused service for a total of 364 calls. Fiscal
year-to-date calls was 3,803.
Vehicle Status Report - The first of the 2 ambulances with
cracks in the boxes has been finished in Florida, shipped back to
IL, and will be going for final inspection. It should be returned by
next week. Upon its arrival, the second will be sent to Florida. The
new ambulance is due for delivery in the next two weeks and was
already paid in full. There are currently 4 of 5 vehicles in service
with 1 being at Bloomington International for electrical issues.
Old Business: Mr. Siltman reported that the Logan County
Ambulance will become a Tier 3 Critical Care Transport agency, which
is the highest level. It will be the closest CCT to Bloomington,
Clinton, Hopedale, Havana, and Lincoln. The reimbursement rate is
approximately 50%. He will be looking into hiring a designated CCT
Nurse and CCT Paramedic for the back of each ambulance; the salaries
for the especially designated CCT applicants are higher. He cannot
bill to the program until the criteria is met. Memorial Health
System is the head of the program and Mr. Siltman will appeal to
them for funding if necessary. Mr. Siltman reported that, in his
estimation, 36-50 critical transports in a year would make it
possible to recoup the financial investment in 1-3 years . Any
transports above 50 would be an incredibly successful program.
