Huntley honored

Marty Huntley was honored for his exemplary service at South Central Wyoming Emergency Medical Service (SCWEMS) Joint Powers Board (JPB) meeting Sept. 10 and made a member in perpetuity of the organization. This was a result of his decade-long affiliation with SCWEMS and the respect he garnered for his contributions and hard work. Huntley passed away the next day, on Sept. 11.

The JPB discussed how the could create separation between the board and the ambulance directors in the service, according to Helen Weiland. As a result, Weiland is resigning her position as the Riverside representative to the JPB, but will continue her duties as ambulance director of the Encampment station.

Bill Dahlke submitted a letter of resignation as ambulance director to the JPB effective on Jan. 15, 2015. Dahlke’s resignation was accepted. Dahlke will also step down as the Saratoga representative on the JPB effective Jan. 1.

SCWEMS sent a letter to the Saratoga Town Council requesting to exercise their purchase option for the Saratoga station.

The JPB is also reviewing its bylaws with an attempt to update and codify numerous items that have been approved by the JPB that are not currently reflected in the bylaws.
