One of these major events is "Thunder Over Louisville". The Firefighters provide not only fire service and inspections, but most importantly emergency medical services. As you may be aware, this event does not provide any funding for overtime, and these monies will be taken from the d~artments normal operating budget. Over the past several years, the Fire Departments number of incidents - fire, rescue, E.M.S.- have at least doubl~, causing more on-job injuries. These injuries arc mostly minor in nature, EXAMPLE: sprained or strained knees and aatdes, or worst ease is knee operations. During the healing process which may take 3 to 6 months, this also takes a toll on our overtime budget. The Fire Departments overtime budget has not been increased in over D. years. and we nexxl to address this issue soon. I would like to set up a meeting with you and discuss this situation so the Emergency Services provided to this community by your Firefighters will. not be jeopardized. I am available to meet at your convenience, and look forward to discussing the simple solutions~ so we can continue the quality of emergency service this community deserves.
