MIKEL Fire Chief Pursuant to a duly made and approved motion and a majority vote at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Village President and Board of Trustees on March 27, 2018, this Executive Session was called to consider review of Personnel. Number of pages attached: 1 Date(s) of review for release: October 2018 Date of approval for release: Date approved by Village Board: April 24, 2018 March 27, 2018 5:03 p.m. The Fire Chief explained that following the retirement of the Village Nurse, Michael Sharp absorbed the Village Nurse's responsibilities into his position. Chief Mikel stated that the Fire Department has not received many calls for services the nurse formerly provided, but that they were able to successfully refer all of those calls to other resources in the community. In particular, Michael Sharp followed up with Senior Support Services after referrals and understood they were able to help everyone who has been referred to them. The Board discussed how the Fire Department was reaching out to seniors in the community to ensure awareness of available resources. The Village Nurse had performed services such as blood pressure checks as a way to keep in contact with seniors. The Board discussed the need for continuity of service for seniors, so that they know who to contact with questions and have someone to guide them through services offered by various organizations. The Fire Chief stated that Michael Sharp will be able to provide continuity of contact for seniors, and he will get out into the community to become better known and more familiar with seniors who may need assistance. The Board requested that Michael Sharp also follow up with seniors to see how the referrals work. The Board also discussed other services that were provided by the Village Nurse, such as checking medications, and discussed whether this type of service should be provided by the Village. This type of service is typically provided through required follow-ups after hospital stays, but Manor Care does not do follow-ups. The Fire Chief stated that there are existing resources in the Fire Department, such as the public education team, which can do more outreach to seniors in the community. Blood pressure checks would be a part of this. The Fire Chief is already scheduled to speak at the Senior Center in May. The Board suggested that outreach to seniors include visits to the Senior Center and churches in the community, as well as to senior housing complexes such as Village Grove and Landmeier Station. Additionally, it was mentioned that seniors read the Village newsletter and their church bulletins. The consensus of the Board was to have the Fire Chief develop and implement a proactive outreach plan. The Board requested that the Fire Chief keep them appraised of the progress of the outreach, and come back to the Village Board in June to discuss how the plan is going. The meeting was adjourned at 5:18 p.m.
