CCAD meets during tornado warning
Posted May 23, 2013 at 12:00 pm
At times the intensity inside the Cedar County Ambulance Board meeting room approached that outside Monday evening in El Dorado Springs as sirens blared warning of a possible tornado.
All board members were present: Don Fugate, Robert Matney, Dennis Winston – presiding, John Wilson, Sue Rice and Wes Spinks.
Chairman Dennis Winston asked what to do and Board Member Wes Spinks said he wasn’t going to leave the building even if the meeting was cancelled.
The first hiccup came when the board took up approval of minutes of the previous meetings which Board Member Sue Rice asked be read aloud. (See Page 1 article.)
In his written manager’s report, Chris Loderhose reported 152 calls for the month of April – 88 in El Dorado Springs and 64 in Stockton.
