Governor Mark Dayton 130 State Capitol 75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd St. Paul, MN 55155

Dear Governor Dayton:

I am writing to you on behalf of the Central Minnesota Emergency Medical Services (CMEMS) Region Joint Powers Board. The CMEMS Region serves the EMS providers in Benton, Cass, Crow Wing, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Sherburne, Stearns, Todd, Wadena and Wright counties.

There are 8 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Regions that cover the State of Minnesota. Each Region is designated by the Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (EMSRB) pursuant to the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services System Support Act (Minn. Stat. 144E.50). The monies for these grants come from the General Fund and seatbelt citations. These are the funds used to help maintain the EMS system in our region.

A proposed increase to the System Support Act was included for possible inclusion to the 2017 budget bills in the house, senate and in the governor’s budget. Unfortunately, additional funds for the EMS System Support Act were not included in the recently passed budget bill. Our current funding has reached a critical level. Without an increase this fiscal year, the Board had to drastically reduce programs that directly maintain first responders. This system is already stressed. Aging responders and lack of new volunteers to replace them is creating difficulties in our ability to maintain this basic safety system. This is concerning to us. We are at a point when a citizen calls 911, there may be long delays in response.

This system is in crisis! We need your help. The CMEMS Region Joint Powers Board requests your attendance at our September 29, 2017 Board meeting. The Board would like to discuss avenues of potential future funding. Please contact Sue Feldewerd at 320-656-6603 to obtain additional meeting information, directions and to RSVP.

We look forward to working with you in partnership on this grave situation.

Sincerely,

Commissioner Jeffrey J. Jelinski Central Minnesota EMS Region Chair

Commissioners Board Meeting - September 5, 2017 County Ditch 8 - Parcel 26-0014600 Minor Repair

County Ditch 8 had a maintenance project done in 2013 – 2014. Neil Shingledecker contacted me this spring and reported that a short section of ditch just north of 360th Street had part of the bank slough in and is preventing the conveyance of water from the rest of the upstream main ditch to the culvert on 360th Street. Neil is requesting this be repaired. The estimate from Corbin Pickar Excavating for this repair is: for approximately 480 foot section to excavate and level spoil is $2.00 per foot for a total of $960.00. County Ditch 8 has approximately $2,400 in their fund balance so there would not need to be a special assessment for this minor repair.
