-- Y <br />the CDC has built in their Positron CAD system. In summary, GPS is a tool and not a <br />determining factor in automatic aid, the CDC would accomplish automatic aid with Fire <br />Run Cards and qualified dispatchers. <br />4. In the eighth paragraph the statement summarizing the eight month operational issues is <br />exceedingly misleading. The CDC was fully and competently provided with emergency <br />operating procedures from the outset. As with any good operation, CDC procedures are <br />constantly being reevaluated and refined in an ongoing process with the end goal of <br />improving emergency response times and response quality. <br />5. A significant omission from Councilman Orlowski's written meeting summary follows: <br />The CDC representative made comments to state that, in a life threatening emergency <br />situation or one that appears to be life threatening, the CDC will `dispatch and send <br />the closest unit' to provide the quickest response and provide quality emergency services. <br />I urge City Council to be both fiscally and operationally responsible to the residents of North <br />Olmsted by allowing the City to join the CDC, particularly since the offer is free for 2007. It has <br />been shown that each of the participating suburbs, Bay Village, Fairview Park, Rocky River, and <br />Westlake, have had significant decreases in response times and have improved coordination <br />since joining CDC. It is imperative that all residents of North Olmsted receive the quickest <br />response available to life threatening emergencies. CDC membership accomplishes this by <br />dispatching the closest available unit. <br />c <br /> <br />
