Summary
Sarah McCafferty told St. James Township that she had been the Island’s only paramedic for several weeks and needed to remain available around the clock. The joint township EMS committee agreed to meet about the staffing problem and ways to increase EMS funding, possibly through a millage. The report added that the situation eased when Ken Bruland returned.
