Dr. Reames re-convened the open Medical Control Board meeting and thanked everyone for their
patience with the Board while they were in executive session.
During executive secession, no discussion points became action items for vote. There were three
items from the executive secession that the Medical Control Board disclosed:
1. The Medical Control Board will review any future contracts with the University
of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine for Dr. Goodloe’s services and
explore alternatives in maintaining his services.
2. Direct oversight involvement for any contracts involving the Medical Director.
3. The Medical Control Board supports Dr. Goodloe and the efforts he has directly
made for this EMS system and the citizens served. Dr. Reames specifically
commented that Dr. Goodloe has brought this EMS system to new heights from
where it has been from past Medical Directors. The Medical Control Board is
very supportive and is looking forward to moving on to the great things Dr.
Goodloe will continue to bring for this EMS system in the future.

For informational purposes the information submitted by Mr. Williamson of response time
compliance reports for the months of February and March 2014 for Eastern and Western
Divisions with exclusion summaries was acknowledged. Mr. Williamson had left the MCB
meeting to attend other business before this item was reached on the agenda.
6. Medical Director Report
Dr. Goodloe thanked the Board for their deliberations in executive session this morning. He
extended his gratitude to all the agencies represented here today, and those that could not attend
for their unanimous support of him and of the Medical Control Board during these recent weeks.
Dr. Goodloe noted that many good things have happened clinically within the EMS System for
Metropolitan Oklahoma City and Tulsa over the past couple of months, but due to time
considerations, he would leave the Medical Director’s report to these comments and would
answer any further questions. No further questions were posed.
