Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />Page 6 <br />Dr. Moyal stated, those are one -day. That means, you come in, you have your knee done and you <br />are going home. Somebody's going to take you, bring you in and take you home. Emergencies <br />are emergencies. Somebody has a heart attack, we have to attend to it. If somebody has a <br />complication, we have to attend to it. We have those services and we call 911 like everybody <br />else does. Do we have anyone from the Fire Department here? I don't know how many times <br />we call you from the building. We have seen 12,000 patients a year. I don't know how many <br />911 calls you get from the building. That is going to be far less than 12,000. It's not even going <br />to be close. <br />Chief Carcioppolo stated, I can look it up. <br />Dr. Moyal asked, would you? I would appreciate it. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, let me help out a little bit. <br />Dr. Moyal stated, I don't think it's an undue burden on the Fire Department. <br />Mr. Coyne stated, doctor, if I can assist to some degree. There is a Development Agreement that <br />has been drafted and there are a few modifications that are being requested. Among the <br />modifications not being requested are the fact that the applicant has recognized that there will be <br />the appropriate due diligence by professional staff and likely a traffic study to determine if <br />infrastructure improvements are going to be needed. That will probably be done up front. We <br />currently want to be able to revisit that but we will talk about that given the Development <br />Agreement's language. <br />The second thing that's in the Development Agreement that hasn't been contested at all and has <br />been agreed to in principle, is the use of private ambulatory services generally speaking. So you <br />are going to have to have the developer of the property with Dr. Moyal will have to have a <br />private ambulatory service available for the patients that are coming to or from the facility for <br />surgical procedures, okay? Now, that's not uncommon in a lot of communities, but the caveat <br />always is, if there's an emergency independently, the safety forces of this community will <br />respond to those and have to respond to those. But by and large, the burden will be on the <br />developer of the surgery center to have their own private ambulatory system. <br />QUESTIONS/COMMENTS BY COUNCIL/BOARDS/COMMISSIONS <br />Council President Saponaro stated, thank you. All right. That being everyone who wanted to <br />speak on that issue, does any member of Council or any Boards or Commission members who <br />may be present have any comments that they would like to make? <br />Mr. Williams asked, you mentioned colonoscopy, is that they will do or won't do colonoscopies <br />there? <br />Dr. Moyal replied, will. It's an outpatient procedure <br />fl <br />f <br />
