V. INFORMATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
June 2, 2003
A. Basic Life Support Transportation Issues
Battalion Chief Mike Gerber advised the Committee that he serves on a
regional work group organized to study the basic life support
transportation issues for South King County. He explained that the
program was put together for the purpose of developing a business plan to
recover costs reimbursable from DSHS, private insurance and Medicare.
Chief Gerber said they are looking at having a private company do the
billing. He also noted that there would need to be a policy developed to
address collections. The Auburn Fire Department transports
approximately 1,400 patients a year. The work group's next meeting will
be on July 16 to present their cost recovery findings to the Fire Chiefs.
B. Advanced Life Support Overview
Battalion Chief Mike Gerber reported on King County Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) strategic plan that provided for a work group to develop
information and recommendations about the feasibility and desirability of
migrating ALS services for South King County from the County to one or
more fire departments in the area. The work group has met twice and
another meeting is scheduled in July. A final recommendation from the
work group to the King County Executive is expected in the fall. Elected
officials will participate in a stakeholder survey and will be kept apprised of
the progress of the work group.
C. Illegal Fireworks
Chief Kelly updated the Committee on the enforcement of fireworks. The
enforcement plan will be similar to last years. Chief Kelly noted there are
generally two areas of concern. One is the Fireworks stand area owned
by members of the Muckleshoot Tribe, which they will be monitoring
starting on June 26th. The other area of concern is city-wide relating to
complaints of either noise or illegal fireworks. Chief Kelly reported that
due to limited resources, response times will vary.
Chair Singer reported citizen concerns she had received about the
pedestrian traffic crossing on Hwy. 164. Chief Kelly stated that police
officers are present in enforcing the pedestrian in the roadway ordinances
and in directing pedestrian traffic to the crossing at the traffic light signal.
D. Parking in Front Yards
Planning and Community Development Director Paul Krauss reported that
this ordinance is on the agenda for the next PCDC meeting. Chair Singer
requested that a copy of the ordinance that the City of SeaTac adopted be
copied to Councilmember Wagner for his review.
