Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, February 17, 2025 Page 6 Chief Carcioppolo replied, she's our medical director. We are required to function under a doctor's medical license. She ensures that our training is up to snuff. She reviews and critiques our training. She reviews our performance and critiques it. We have to function under her license as State - Certified Paramedics or EMT's. She's out every month to review any runs that are difficult. We need cutting edge people dedicated to the field. We have come full circle and now have someone younger and more in tune with our age group of staff that our department has to help carry the torch and move us forward to keep us at the cutting edge of providing emergency medical service. Are there any other questions? Would you like to say something Jill? Dr. Mohr stated, thank you so much to Gino. Growing up, I remember going to the Fire Department all the time to visit my Dad and play on the trucks and on the ambulance. I have many fond memories. We would go to the fireworks and to Cruise Night. I played soccer in Mayfield and met a lot of awesome people here. One of the things I remember is my Dad was always saying how thankful he was to work in Mayfield Village and specifically the support he always felt from the community and from Council and Mayor and leadership because he always felt supported. The slogan is still on the trucks and ambulances: "To protect lives and property". That was always his goal. When this position came up, I was hoping to work with Mayfield Village. I'm so glad it worked out this way. The EMS coordinator who works with many of the departments in the area said to me before I started, "Mayfield Village is a great department. They are a wonderful group. You are going to be so happy there." I can say that in just the first couple of months working here, I am really happy. I am so thankful for the welcome I received. I can see what she was talking about. That is a testament to the people working at the Mayfield Village Fire Department and also the leadership provided by Chief Carcioppolo. I look forward to seeing you guys again and hope to provide free hospital care for the community. Council President Schutt stated, thank you. Are there any other questions? There were none. Council President Schutt stated, thank you Chief Carcioppolo, Chief Mohr and Dr. Jill Mohr. Council President Schutt asked, are there any other Department Head reports this evening? Paul Matias (Police Department) — Council President, I just had one quick thing, some sad news. Last week, retired Detective Sergeant Don Smith passed away. He is being laid to rest tomorrow. For those who knew Smitty, they knew he was the nicest guy in the world. He served 51 years on the Mayfield Village Police Department. He never had a computer on his desk. Please keep Don and his family in your prayers. Thank you. Council President Schutt stated, thank you Chief. Are there any other Department Head reports this evening?
