Zalicek & Co. g ambulance manned. Certified Public Accountants service, with properly equipped by paramedics; was not available locally for Nalco DIRECTORS CL an employees. Mr. Powers further stated in his letter john Manager that that in order to help get such a service established Manager L. J.

Admittedly, we '0,.d not conduct a highly arganized solicitation campaign, but we contacted either by letter,• personal interview, or both, most of the leading business firms in the Oak Brook area. This resulted in pledges totalling $51,150.00 for the first year, $37,975.00 for the second year and $17,350.00 for the third year. In addition to these pledges., the Board of Directors of our Association has indicated that the Association would give $5,000.00 towards the first year's ' operation from funds now in the Association's treasury. Also, we have been contacted by the Oak Brook Jaycees who have indicated to us that the Oak Brook Junior Association Foundation, the chari- table arm of the Jaycees, would like to pledge 50% of•the net proceeds from their 1979 4nnual awards dinner towards the paramedic project. This dinner is scheduled to be held in February and 50% of_the net proceeds could approximate $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. It is the dinner at which an outstanding member of, the Oak. Brook business community will be honored, and while it has not yet been publicized, it is-our understanding that Bob Powers of Nalco is the man to be honored at the 1979 dinner. The Jaycees, however, would have to know before the.end of 1978 whether a paramedic service will be in operation, and they then would publicize the fact that the net proceeds from their dinner will be given-towards the cost of the paramedic service. , We want to make it clear that our Association has no intention of becoming involved in any way in the operation of the paramedic service. The pledges we have solicited have been solicited and made with the view that the monies would be paid over to the Village for a paramedic service to be managed by the Village. • Q SMITE 115 0 800 ENTERPRISE DRIVE o OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 80521 Telephone; 312/323 -0618 •.. s a PRESIDENT OAK BROOK ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY George M Schlosser Atlomey -at -Law McBride, Baker, Wienke and Schlosser VICE PRESIDENT James J. 13enes President James J Benes and 1saoc;ates, Inc Consulting Engineers SECRETARY Don Craigmile Secretary and Financial'Counsel Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.

This is a great improvement over the service that previously was available through the Police Department. However® everything we have been able to learn supports the conclusion that a paramedic - staffed service is much better than a medical technician - staffed service, and of course much more expensive. Enclosed with each copy of this letter is a list of the pledges or commitments that we have to date. Also enclosed are copies of most of the pledges and some of the letters from interested companies. We also have included a letter proposal dated January 166 1978 from Superior Ambulance, Inc. of Elmhurst. This proposal was made before the Village's purchase of a vehicle and on the assump- tion that Superior would provide the vehicle and all equipment as well as the paramedics. We sub- sequently inquired of Superior as `co what their charges would be if the village furnished the vehicle, the telemetery equipment, :supplies and rousing. Superior responded Ly letter dated June 21, 1978 that their charge would then be approximately $100,000.00 per year for furnishing all paramedic personnel necessary to provide full - time paramedic ambulance service. r�. copy of that letter is included with the material being provided to you, aCh(! at the bottom of that letter is a hand -- written note from Jim Benes to George Schlosser in which he stated that he had spoken with Dave Hill of Superior on October 3rd and that Mr. Hill had said that the amount included in the June 21st letter was still "in the ball park." We should like to have the opportunity to discuss this subject either with a committee of the Board of Trustees or the full Board, and if the SUITE 115 o 800 ENTERPRISE DRIVE a OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60521 Telephone: 312/323-0616 ____ - - - __ H Y !K • -4- PRESIDENT George M Schlosser Altorney -al -Law committee or the Board .,,ould be interested, we MCBrtde, Baker, Wrenke and Schlosser would endeavor to have paramedic experts from VICE PRESIDENT Loyola Hospital in attendance and ask them to show James J Bones the film that they have exhibited to other groups. President Since the pledges that we have are conditioned James J Bones and Associates, Inc. Consulting Engineers upon the inauguration of a paramedic service before the end of 1978, time is of the essence, and we SECRETARY hope, therefore, that a meeting might be arranged .
