Ambulance Calls Reduced

Hal Bumgarner, direc-tor of Emergency Medi-cal Services, reported a reduction of about 120 ambulance calls since the COVID-19 shutdown began in early March.

“That’s true state-wide,” Bumgarner said, “but it’s starting to trend back up to normal.”

Administrator Chad Kinsley said the slow-down will have a dramat-ic impact on the annual EMS income, project-ing revenue of $450,000 for 2020, compared to $750,000 for 2019.

Bumgarner also said his department has purchased a kit to decon-taminate ambulances following each call. The decontamination kit is available for use by other county departments, he said.

Office HoursThe commission

authorized Kinsley to continue the 4 p.m. closure of the County Of-fice Building for another

month.Prior to COVID-19, the

building remained open until 4:30 p.m., but an earlier closing time was recommended to reduce overtime.

Treasurer Lisa Wright said she has had no com-plaints about the earlier closing time, noting her office has to work well past the closing time to serve all waiting custom-ers.

If the 4 p.m. closing time is accepted by the public, the commission may consider making it permanent.

Tabletop ExerciseJennifer Merrow,

emergency management director, reported on a tabletop exercise in early March with the Public Works Department.

The exercise entailed the scenario of a tornado causing damage in the Blue Township area and later in the city of West-moreland.

“It worked out very well,” Merrow said. “Public Works knew exactly what to do.”
