Marc reviews the primary and secondary representatives roles for each service.
U. K. has not responded to any phone messages. Also have not heard anything from Vanderbilt.
The regional manager of Air Evac, Jason Ingram, has been contacted and Jason notes his service is very interested in KY AAMS. The invoice for Air Evac has been sent to their cooperate office. To date, Walt has not received a check.
Marc reads a post accident report concerning the use of NVG.
Marc also notes the use of the state wide air frequency MUST be used at all times. Among several issues, referring agencies are still calling multiple aircraft for the same scene. Near misses should not be occurring. Safety first is the goal, not who can get to the scene first.
Minutes reviewed and available on the website. No changes made.
Walter gave the treasurer’s report. No changes noted. A question was raised concerning the money going to the Wings account. An in depth discussion on this issue occurred. Reference to the minutes from the last meeting was used during this discussion.
