The Uniformed plan has done well with the plan being up over 36% over thel last 3 years, the non-Uniformed plani is up over 27% with both plans suffering as slight downward trend at the beginning of 2022. Kraus recommends to "stay the course" with the market  traditionally making a rebound after a recession. ECOG Presentation of Collaborative EMS Response Plan:  Jessica Horan Kunco presented to the Board the plan for Fire Departments to avoid missing sO many ambulance calls. The plan asks that every volunteer Fire Department be responsible to name another Fire Department to answer ambulance calls when they are not in service and there is nobody (on the board) available to take these calls. This would lessen the amount of dropped calls which could potentially be a life-threatening situation. Lou DePalma explained that this is no cost to anyone, just a matter of naming al back up ambulance service whilei there is no one to answer calls. This program was created to help save lives andi is in no' way trying to dictate to the Fire Departments how their department should be run. As of right now the Lawrence Park Fire Department is not in compliance with the State Law stating that volunteer departments must provide care 24/7. Commissioner Visitors signed in to speak: Al Renshaw spoke to the Board about his idea for the foot bridge. Commissioner Benovic said the Board is actively working with Engineers and the County looking into funds and Grants to help with the cost.
