6.1. You have received a copy of the Annual Report in the packet as well as a bound copy. I believe there will be a
discussion next year to start it earlier and have more board involvement. Please review it at your leisure. The
report is done on a calendar basis and not a fiscal year basis. Chief Sturdivant added that a discussion was
conducted at City Hall about the report being done on a fiscal year which makes more sense to do so since our
budget is done by fiscal year, however, the mayor was adamant that the report would be done on a calendar
year.

8.4. Assistant Chief Tobin stated that in the next year there will be some legislation discussion on the EMS side that
we will keep you updated on. It’s a much-needed legislation, anything from review of EMS education model of

the state level we can’t even investigate.
