Good evening.

I'd like to call the City of Manasha Common Council meeting to order if you'd please rise and join me for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Thank you.

Clerk Slander, if we could have the role, please.

Alderman Perkins?

Alderman Lewis.

Alderman Marshall?

Alderman Grady?

Alderman Merpella?

Alderman Rand.

Alderman Eisenhock, Alderman Hale.

All are present.

Thank you very much.

Next on the agenda is item E.

This is public comment in any matter of concern to the city.

If anybody in the gallery wishes to speak this evening, I just ask that you step up to the podium, state your first and last name and address, and you do have five minutes to speak.

Seeing none, we will move on past E, which is public comment.

We'll move down to F, which is report of department officers, department heads, staff, and consultants.

And we do have one presentation this evening.

So we're gonna get his presentation uh set up for his annual report.

Well,

she's getting that set up.

Um I'll just introduce myself.

Um Nick Romanesco, I'm the executive director for Gold Cross Ambulance.

Um and kind of today is is something that uh we're starting to do a little bit differently with our municipal partners.

We want to be a little bit more proactive about how we communicate a little bit more thoughtful and um purposeful with our interactions with our municipal partners.

Um so this is something you'll see from Gold Cross at a minimum of an annual basis.

But certainly if you guys ever have questions or uh citizen concerns or anything that you would like address from us, we're in we're an open door.

We'd love to have the opportunity to speak.

So um if you want to have us come back on a quarterly basis, biannual basis, we're happy to do that as well.

So

did

I stall long enough for

you?

Um progress my slides too, so this is probably a better thing.

Um kind of the makeup of this report as you see it.

Um we try to make it pretty simple and digestible.

Obviously, we we uh how we operate, I mean we operate in thirty-nine disparate municipalities, so everyone looks a little bit differently.

Um I'll start with just an overview of the organization.

So uh we're a nonprofit five one C three organization.

Uh our governance is with data care and ascension.

So they make up our board of directors, really drive a lot of the quality care be f uh behind what we do uh as an organization.

Um I always like to say your healthcare stay starts when gold cross arrives at your doorstep, because we really are integrated really well with the healthcare systems.

What we do in the back of the ambulance or at a at a bedside in somebody's home is really what you would receive within the first ten to fifteen minutes of being in an ER anyway.

So seamless is seamless care as a result of that par close real partnership with Theticare and Ascension.

And then within this report, really it's just a brief snapshot of what we do.

Obviously, when you look at you know over 1,200 calls that we run in the city of Manasha, there's a lot of things that happen throughout the day-to-day operations that we do.

Um and our systems can pull and dissect and look at all kinds of different things.

But uh, we wanted to make this report on an annual basis just as simple and digestible as we can.

And certainly these are things that we can update and modify as well if you see want to see them presented differently, or you're curious about uh different areas of how we uh um operate as an organization, happy to modify these as you guys see fit as well.

So but just starting with um

the

911 calls specifically uh that we responded to in the city of Manasha.

Um so those are ones that are coming directly through the 911 system.

Somebody calls 911, uh Winnebago County receives that, uh, they get the information from the caller

and

they let Gold Cross know where it is and who we're responding in it with.

Uh most of the time we're responding with Nina Manasha Fire Department.

I can tell you they're a professional grade fire department.

We work really, really well with them.
