Via the email seen at this link: EMS Response Time Email to Board,
I have suggested to our Board of Trustees that they take action aimed at improving our Fire Department EMS ambulance response time to meet the 6 or 8 minute Oakland County standard.
To that end I have asked them to make public their data at 12/12 meeting that would:
• Form a data base line for detecting improvement.
• Alert residents to the issue in a quantitative way.
• Further Board goals of transparency.
Below is the limited data I have. This shows EMS response times for previous 6 months running in early 2016. I am suggesting that this graph be extended 19 months to the present to form a baseline to judge the effect of any improvement programs that are implemented.

For those willing to take a “deep dive” into this issue I refer you to this Oakland Township Sentinel webpage: “EMS Response Time Improvement Project” under the “Fire / EMS Dept.” Menu.
I think you’ve made a reasonable proposal, Bob. I hope the board complies. Fact-based decision making is always a fine idea. Thanks for your efforts.
