These issues should not be delayed until ordinance revisions begin. My understanding was that these emails were being shared with them to address the critical EMS response concerns in the community. The data I provided highlights alarming problems, and delaying action risks public trust and safety. For example, today, after transporting a patient to the hospital, my paramedic had to wait with the patient for over an hour in the hallway due to the unavailability of a bed in the emergency room. Tragically, the patient's heart stopped while still on our stretcher. This delay occurred because multiple beds were occupied by patients waiting for EMS services to return them home or to nursing facilities. This is a significant issue. It is imperative that the council provides immediate clarification on Section *-*(a) of the current ordinance. Addressing these systemic problems is not just important—it's urgent. I hope this matter receives the attention it deserves now rather than later.
