BUSINESS
The Carstar class in Lincoln is full. They still have openings for the Omaha classes. Greg from the radio Shop went to Hallam and checked all their equipment. There was a lot of discussion over the Airshow. Both Raymond and Southeast were pretty upset they weren’t utilized and pulled and Ambulance and crew out of service and their districts for three days. Both Departments said they probably wouldn’t volunteer again unless things change. Doug Ahlberg suggested contacting the County Attorney’s Office and have them get with The City Attorney’s Office and discuss the City ambulance ordinance for cases like this. For those attending Dave Joyce’s funeral and bringing vehicles for the procession please arrive at the Raymond Station between 0930 and 1000. Committees
