A motion was made by Councilwoman Neeley, seconded <br />by Mayor Pro Tem Manning, for approval of the resolution. The motion carried <br />7 ayes, 0 nays. <br />City Manager Malone advised the City Council that he has asked Kent <br />Klinkerman, EMS Administrator, to give a six month status report of the <br />operation of the ambulance system. <br />Kent Klinkerman, EMS Administrator, came forward presenting the six month <br />status report for the Emergency Medical Service. Mr. Klinkerman said he was <br />going to compare numbers between the last fiscal year and this fiscal year for <br />the first six months. He said the call volume for the current fiscal year was <br />3,817 calls verses 3,345 calls. There was an increase of 472 in calls, or a <br />14.1 % increase. Mr. Klinkerman said the charges and debits were <br />$1,335,206.50 compared to $1,017,670.50 for lastyear, which is a$317,546.00 <br />increase due to the call volume increase as well as the charges that were <br />increased per call. He said this represents a 31.2% increase and call volume <br />averaged 20.8 calls per day with a peak day of 41 calls. Mr. Klinkerman said <br />on cash credits the current fiscal year to date is $783,567.67 and the revenue <br />projected for the fiscal year for six months was $662,500.00, which means they <br />exceeded that number by $121,067.67 with a 18.3 % increase over the proj ected <br />revenues.

This is <br />primarily due to increased personnel cost associated with injuries and illness, <br />workers' compensation and overtime. The net effect ends up being $87,501.00 <br />exceeding their projected expenses and taking that from the revenue, they had <br />
