The move was made in order to reduce <br />overhead costs for the air carrier, while helping to further <br />establish the ESC as a regional center of emergency <br />operations. <br /> <br />With a new helipad installed (funded primarily by Life Flight, <br />with $5,000 each contributed by the Lane Fire Defense Board <br />and Springfield FireMed), and with the partnership operating <br />smoothly, the Mayor and City Council are invited to Life <br />Flight’s open house barbecue on Sunday, June 13, from noon <br />to 4 p.m. The occasion will be an opportunity to inspect the <br />new base and the Life Flight helicopter, enjoy lunch on the campus, and meet some of the locally based Life Flight <br />EMTs, as well as to learn more about the service and to network with local stakeholders in the medical service <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />June 3, 2010 <br />
