Old Business:

Mr. Thomas presented the July call report. There were 17 deaths, with 4 requiring an autopsy .They did all the transports themselves. 1 was a prison death, 2 were ERs, and 1 was home. The State's Attorney said that statute says that they shall autopsy all in-custody deaths. Since there is no longer a reimbursement for in-custody autopsies, the possibility of charging for the reports is being considered. Those would generate up to $300.

New Business:

1. Chris Sprague has been promoted to Chief Deputy with the Coroner's Office.

2. The new vehicle from the Sheriff has new brakes and rotors, steering rack and pinion, and new parts in the steering column.

3. There is a Coroner Conference in the middle of August. Chris Sprague and Jeremy are going to attend that while Bob Thomas stays behind to answer calls.
