MANAGER'S REPORT
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES UPDATE ON PERSONNEL COSTS: Mr. Al Upton discussed the EMS work week
with the board at this time. He explained the fluctuating work week, which is in three-week cycles,
with the shifts being 48, 72, and 56 hours. The department of labor says Iredell County is now out
of compliance, and this is recommended as a plan of compliance. This actually represents a 10%
increase for the personnel without any additional time being worked. Most emergency service opera-
tions are going with the fluctuating work week, Mr. Upton said. It does not include the quick
response vehicles.

personnel, effective July 1, 1990.
