opening remarks.

was a lot of planning and preparation put into this election.
Mayor Wescott shared a story of Fire Fighter/Paramedic Brian Spence who is also a member of the Army National Guard.
While serving on active duty, Fire Fighter/Paramedic Spence realized the Stevens Point Fire Department was providing
a number of more significant pre-hospital medical procedures than the United States Army. Fire Fighter/Paramedic
Spence offered to bring them up to speed on a number of procedures with the most significant being the RSI. RSI
is the process used to support and improve the respiratory status of trauma. Spence is now serving in Iraq.
