The Washington County Board of Supervisors met Tuesday; a main part of the meeting was discussing the possible amendment to the Washington County Employee Manual. Interim Ambulance Director Katrina Altenhofen explained the need for the amendment, “Nobody wants to be that department that could potentially bankrupt or to create that negative; we all want to be fiscally responsible. You know, again, if I don’t have someone sitting in a seat, that’s an ambulance that’s not going to be able to run, which means it’s not going to go on a call. And when you look at a captured period, where we ran the amount of calls, so from October 6th to the 10th, forty-seven calls of services were done, nine of those were for additional crews. In ninety-six hours forty-seven calls, that’s, that’s a lot.”  The Board passed the amendment in a four-to-one vote. The board is also hoping to work with the ambulance service to try and add another ambulance to the county service to try and mitigate the need for the amendment.
