Mayor Tralle introduced David Miller, Executive Director of Health One
Transportation. David Miller indicated that he would be making a
presentation to the City Council. He indicated that the presentation
would be in relation to a resolution adopted by the City which endorsed
the proposal of the Elk River Fire and Ambulance Service to further its
relationship with Health One Transportation in its effort to obtain an
Advanced Life Support (ALS) license for the primary service area of Elk
River. Mr. Miller reviewed the three major issues that he would be
addressing. He indicated that they consisted of the following:
1. To improve life support services to the community.
2. To not create increased cost for the life support services.
3. To maintain viability to Elk River Fire and Ambulance Service.
Some other key point.s that were discussed by Mr. Miller included run
volume, response times, disposition of patient and primary service area.
e
David Mil ler introduced Mark Stutelberg, the ALS Operations Manager for
Health One Transportation. Mr. Stutelberg discussed dispatch
protocols, deployment activities, medical protocols and a quality
assurance program with the Council. Mr. St.utelberg indicated that the
proposed plan is to create a quality assurance group that implements a
continuous feedback and refinement mechani sm of all areas of the plan.
He indicated t.hat. the members of a quality assurance group would
i nel ude a men ical di rector for Elk River Ambulance, a member of Health
One TransportaU on, the El k River Ambul ance Coord inator, an Elk River
Ambulance Staff member, a representative from the Elk River Police
Department. and a member of t.he Elk River medical community.
Mr. Stutelberg explained the changes in the proposed plan in relation
to dispatch protocols. When Sherburne County Public Safety receives a
911 request, they wi 11 immediately notify both Elk River Ambulance and
Health One Transportation Services. He indicated that this change will
expedite t.he response by paramedic service by a few minutes. Another
change in the proposed plan under deployment activities relates to
Heal th One's response to the 911 request. Health One wi 11 respond as
an emergency upon receiving the notl fication of request for 911 and
wi 11 con t.i nile to respond as an emergency until requested by the Elk
River Ambulance to cancel.
Mr. Stutelberg concluded by stating that although the proposed plan is
an operational plan including only four areas, he is aware that there
is sl gni ficant work that needs to take place to adequately implement
the changes.

whether the Ambulance staff or the number of rigs would be increased to

further indicated that the proposed committee did not consist of
citizen involvement. Mr. Schaefer stated that in referring to response
time, the El k Ri ver Ambulance response time is not the issue but ALS

the proposed street improvement for the Proctor Avenue project is a
county road jurisdiction, but the project also includes City cost for
part of the street, storm sewer, sani tary sewer improvements and a
proposed pathway. Mr. Maurer explained that the reconstruction of
Proctor Avenue from Trunk Highway 10 to approximately 3800 feet north,
just. past. the existing "wye" intersection of County Road 1 and County
Road 77, involves the removing of existing bituminous, installing
concrete curb and gutter and resurfacing the new street to a width of
52 feet. Mr. Maurier reviewed the proposed assessments that would be
levied for the project. He indicated that the estimated total project
cost is $647,000, and the estimated assessment amount is $195,300 which
is about 30% of the total project cost. He further stated that the
proposed project schedule would have the project substantially complete
by September, 1991, prior to the 1991-92 school year.
