I know 4 I apologize that I'm getting into this issue 4 they promised to pay for the police force in 5 rather late. I read an article in the paper 5 Trappe and then I gather a few years ago that 6 this morning about it so I thought I would come 6 was stopped or maybe we billed them for that. 7 in and hear what's going on and try to get 7 I would ask is that still happening.

So when -- I got in, I got some 18 land was crazy for a small town the size of 18 of the documentation from what you all looked 19 Trappe. And I would just ask you to look back 19 at in preparation for this meeting. There is a 20 at the original agreement that was made back 20 memo from Miguel Salinas who says on the top of 21 then, because I was much more familiar with it 21 page two, "in evaluating the standards for 16 (Pages 58 - 61) Veritext Legal Solutions 202-803-8830 -- 410-494-8300 Talbot County Council Meeting February 11, 2020

I also think that it says the "County 6 of the proposed location of the water treatment 7 will have no financial responsibility for all 7 facility. I correct myself, there is one 8 cost and expenses associated with the water and 8 that's east of it but it's further downstream. 9 sewer improvements at the property, comma, 9 We're due east of it and we would be -- so 10 however, we have lots of costs coming our way 10 there is no monitoring going on for the 11 from 3,000 houses in Trappe." So I would say, 11 spraying due east and on our side of the marsh 12 yes, that's true we're not paying for the sewer 12 and the creek. So I'm very concerned that like 13 and water for that, the developer is supposed 13 our well would become sort of an unmonitored 14 to pay for that, but we have lots of costs 14 monitoring station and we would bear the brunt 15 coming our way when this property gets 3,000 15 of any health problems down the road, which is 16 houses.

Page 70 Page 72 1 initially proposed was to take that S2/W2 1 coliform sounds concerning or threatening, and 2 designation to S1. There is an amendment that 2 it can be if it's not managed, but MDE has 3 you all have at least introduced for 3 guidelines for what they call the use of 4 consideration by the Planning Commission that 4 reclaimed water, and these guidelines for land 5 would move a portion, essentially the northern 5 application. They define three different 6 half of the project, from S2 to S1/W2 -- excuse 6 classes of wastewater affluent. The affluent 7 me, W2 to W1 and would retain the S2/W2 7 that would be generated by this treatment plant 8 designation on the southern half. From the 8 would be treated to what MDE defines as class 9 MDE's perspective the project is consistent 9 three standards. I'm sorry, class two 10 with your current plan because we're more than 10 standards. And that's the three colonies of 11 15 years beyond the timeframe when 11 fecal coliform per 100-millimeters. Class two 12 infrastructure was proposed to be constructed. 12 affluent is approved by MDE to be sprayed 13 If you adopt the resolution as potentially 13 within 25 feet of property lines, structures, 14 amended what you would be saying essentially is 14 public roads and streams; within 50 feet of 15 that the northern half of the project is 15 schools and playgrounds; and within 100 feet of 16 appropriate for initial construction of 16 potable wells and water intakes. So saying 17 infrastructure, a series of pump stations, some 17 that there is some fecal coliform in the water 18 wells, a water tower and treatment plan, the 18 sounds potentially threatening. When you look 19 southern half of the project would be 19 at the levels and look at what the level of 20 programmed for infrastructure extension three 20 treatment is, MDE says this water is clean 21 to five years from the adoption of this 21 enough to spray within 50 feet of a playground,

Page 71 Page 73 1 amendment. So you would essentially be 1 within 25 feet of a stream, and within 100 feet 2 regressing or moving backwards the timeframe 2 of water intake. That gives you an indication 3 for the southern half of the project. Those 3 of the level of treatment that's proposed. And 4 are the amendments that are before you. That's 4 the level of treatment that's proposed is what 5 it. Is advancing the text to call for 5 Easton Utilities provides it currently 6 heightened level of wastewater treatment and 6 discharges into the Choptank River today. This 7 changing the timing to delay some of the 7 could be discharged from the treatment plant 8 infrastructure that the plant currently calls 8 directly into the stream. What's proposed is 9 for. The -- Mr. Bartlett referenced the 2006 9 to apply it to the land. And that provides a 10 development rights and responsibility 10 number of benefits. When you look at MDE's, 11 agreement. The applicant paid for the Town 11 again, their guidelines for land application, 12 police department for many years beyond the 12 the guidelines outline a couple of benefits and 13 timeframe called for in that agreement. The 13 the reasons that MDE encourages this is a state 14 agreement specifically contemplated a bio act, 14 policy.

A couple of 14 forward, if there is legislation drafted and 14 pieces of background that I'll share with you 15 it's approved to allow some -- allow some ways 15 is that since the implementation of the EMS 16 that they may be in compliance with issues such 16 system in Talbot County, and the national 17 as the height from the tread to the ceiling, 17 standard that is followed by states and 18 for example, that that is an option that they 18 counties all over the country is a National 19 may wait.

There have been 3 goal is that we provide advanced life support 3 decisions made over the last several years at 4 response within eight minutes of a call for 4 the federal level and at the state level that 5 help 90 percent of the time. Now we're 5 govern how hospitals take care of patients. 6 currently running on average about 82 percent 6 And that policy goes like this. There are 7 of the time. And we're seeing that time 7 fewer inpatient stays in hospitals, and 8 actually decrease -- or actually increase 8 hospitals are incentivized to discharge 9 because of the number of times our crews are 9 patients as soon as possible and to try to 10 tied up, or we reach our saturation point. The 10 reduce the number of readmissions. What does 11 second piece of it, in addition to career 11 that mean for emergency medical services. It 12 service, I tell people that our system in 12 means we have sicker patients at home with more 13 Talbot County is a 90/10 system. The County 13 complex chronic illnesses that call 911. And 14 runs 90 percent of the advanced life support 14 so that's increasing volume, that's increasing 15 calls in the County but we depend on our 15 complexity of calls. So right now there is a 16 volunteer fire companies to run about 16 vacuum to try to address the needs of these 17 10 percent of those calls, with Oxford being 17 individuals, and we've implemented some of 18 probably the most active. What we have seen 18 those which I'll talk about in just a minute. 19 over the last number of years the north end of 19 The next issue that we're facing is Easton is a 20 the County is struggling to get the volunteer 20 health care hub. So if you ask me what are 21 crews out. There is a lot of reasons why. But 21 these peak times when we look at the data, I

Page 163 Page 165 1 the requirements to become an emergency medical 1 would say to you it's Monday, Wednesday, and 2 technician, the requirements to become a 2 Friday. You would ask the question, Monday, 3 paramedic, the requirements to recertify, 3 Wednesday and Friday, I would think it would be 4 relicense as a clinician, become quite onerous 4 like Friday or the weekend or something, right. 5 on volunteers. So they are having challenges. 5 Why Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Because 6 We have seen the percentage of responses 6 Easton is a regional health care hub. That 7 decrease. Here are the challenges, and that is 7 means everybody on Mondays, Wednesdays and 8 the first one, the fire departments are 8 Fridays come to Easton for medical 9 struggling. The north end of the County, 9 appointments. The dispatchers have coined it 10 Cordova, I've spoken to their chief, their 10 Medical Monday. They know that every Monday 11 president.

We identify 4 diabetic emergency, doctor's offices aren't 4 individuals that are repeat callers to 911 that 5 necessarily equipped to handle a crisis or 5 use our system repeatedly that have chronic 6 critical situation. So they do call us so that 6 illness but maybe are not necessarily acute in 7 we can get that individual engaged in life 7 nature. In many cases they have situations 8 saving treatment and get them to the proper 8 that -- they have tough situations. So Greg 9 place, which is an emergency department. And 9 and the health department, you know, I'll share 10 it may not be, you know, a laboratory or a 10 with you, I was in a meeting with him, we had 11 family physician. The next thing that we face 11 probably 40 different organizations in Talbot 12 in Talbot County is an aging community. We 12 County that provide service to elderly and 13 know that we have a significant number of 13 people that are in need. He becomes a 14 elderly people that move to this county. And 14 facilitator to help address needs. And by 15 when you look at the statistics, for example on 15 doing that we give better service to folks that 16 cardiac arrest, we actually range higher than a 16 need that service. They don't need to be in an 17 lot of other jurisdictions. It's because we 17 emergency room. He'll coordinate having a ramp 18 have a lot of elderly folks. Those are complex 18 built for somebody that has a wheelchair or, 19 calls. When we respond to a cardiac arrest or 19 you know -- so anyway, we're working this 20 respond to a stroke call, initially in order to 20 mobile integrated health program. But in 21 implement lifesaving treatment it requires -- 21 itself it's not going to resolve the issue.

Page 167 Page 169 1 it requires at least two units initially. And 1 MS. PRICE: Can I ask a question. I ask 2 then we split some people up and we get them to 2 this because there is a bill that we're 3 the hospital. So all these are factors that 3 considering tomorrow that has to do with 4 are creating this challenge. So what are the 4 raising the reimbursement for ambulance things 5 solutions. We have done a couple things. One, 5 but also includes this mobile integrated health 6 you've all been very gracious, you've allowed 6 to $100 per interaction. That would be helpful 7 us to put a 24 hour supervisor on so that 7 to get reimbursed that. 8 supervisor can respond in on those complex 8 CLAY STAMP: Absolutely. So there are a 9 calls, make up as part of the crew so we don't 9 number of things happening on the federal and 10 have to break another crew down. That's been 10 state level. There is a renewed or maybe it's 11 done over the years. You've implemented power 11 an initial recognition that there is a heavy 12 lift systems so we don't have to alert the fire 12 burden that is being placed on communities to 13 department to help us move people into the 13 deliver emergency medical services. And so the 14 ambulance. We have also done something really 14 Federal Government has implemented a several 15 unique. We're one of about five jurisdictions 15 year process to better understand how EMS 16 in Maryland that have implemented something 16 works, the reimbursement rates for Medicare, 17 called a mobile integrated health program. You 17 how they might be able to reimburse us for a 18 authorized that I hire a special program 18 mobile integrated health program or transports 19 paramedic, we call him our special paramedic, 19 to alternative research sites. So we're 20 he's here, Greg Fries. And Greg is working the 20 engaged in part of that study here. And on the 21 health department. He partners up with the 21 state level, for example Medicare -- sorry, 43 (Pages 166 - 169) Veritext Legal Solutions 202-803-8830 -- 410-494-8300 Talbot County Council Meeting February 11, 2020

Page 170 Page 172 1 Medicaid, the same reimbursement rate has been 1 Fireman's Association about, you know, housing 2 in play at least the last ten years, which is 2 and, you know, other options. So, you know, 3 $100. So you're talking about a bill that 3 we're at that time where we have to have a 4 would alter that. So there's some movement 4 serious conversation. Because, you know, the 5 which is, you know, we're watching very closely 5 response times are going up. And when we have 6 and we're involved in to help maybe lift some 6 somebody go into cardiac arrest, we have 7 of the burden off of the taxpayers. Right now 7 precious seconds in order to save lives. So we 8 we have a system that cost us about four-point 8 always want to achieve that target, which is to 9 some million dollars to get about 1.3 back in 9 deliver advanced life support within eight 10 billing. We do our best. We have a pretty 10 minutes 90 percent of the time. That's the 11 good recovery rate. But if we can open up 11 national standard we have fighting to try to 12 other avenues -- 12 get to. I hope we can get there. That's my 13 MS. PRICE: I think it's great, because 13 request. Thank you. 14 it's a similar bill as last year but last year 14 MR. PACK: Thank you. This surge crew, 15 it didn't include the mobile integrated health 15 are you going to pull a unit out of where. 16 if I remember correctly, and right now the 16 CLAY STAMP: So in order to keep five 17 reimbursement is zero for that. So I think 17 units available, I have to have nine units. 18 that's -- we'll see if it passes but I think 18 Because that's just how it works, breaks and 19 it's a step in the right direction. 19 engines and everything else. What my plan is 20 CLAY STAMP: Yes, it would be. I'll just 20 is to use one of those reserve units that I 21 wrap this up, the request up, by saying there 21 have available to me to do -- to perform this

Page 171 Page 173 1 is really two recommendations I have. Number 1 task. And secondly, I propose to use a 2 one is I need your permission to use what I 2 part-time paramedic and part-time emergency 3 believe will be $39,000 between now and 3 medical technician, of which I happen to have a 4 June 30th to put a paramedic unit in service. 4 couple part-time people that are looking for 5 It would probably be on Mondays, Wednesdays and 5 sometime right now. So it would work out well 6 Fridays. It would be a second crew here in 6 for the next number of months. But I mean to 7 Easton. That's going to reduce the number of 7 use an analogy in a conversation that we had, 8 transfers for the Trappe crew, which will keep 8 Mr. Council President, this is more of a gouge 9 a unit down there which is being taxed a lot 9 and this is a band aid that we're putting on 10 more these days.

Page 187 Page 189 1 federal requirements, I believe, on the bidding 1 we then move on to the next.
