A controller’s office representative explained the internal-auditor position was added to the salary ordinance after a common-council recommendation but the city has been unable to recruit for the role through 2024 and 2025. The administration and the mayor therefore determined contracting for annual audit services is more feasible and less costly than hiring a full-time employee.

\"Typically, our finances, auditing of finances take about a month,\" the controller’s office presenter said, and contracting the work would cost a fraction of bringing on a new full-time employee. Board member Lawrence moved approval of the professional services agreement; board member Lawrence seconded and the motion carried.

Staff member Rapala told the board Shrewsbury prepared the bid documents and plans and will perform inspection services if the agreement is approved. Rapala said the task order covers projects awarded under the city’s Community Crossing matching grant and is distinct from a prior 2024 grant package.

Board members confirmed this task order covers the set of streets previously approved for the 25-1 grant. Board member Lawrence moved approval of the agreement; board member Miller seconded the motion. The motion carried.

Chief Wallace, the department chief who presented the item, said the service will let dispatchers transfer appropriate calls to Crosswalk for nurse-navigation, telemedicine or assistance arranging transportation to clinics. \"The best news is it costs $0 to the taxpayer,\" Chief Wallace said.

The program is designed to handle calls that do not require an ambulance response — for example, minor medical complaints — and to reduce unnecessary emergency responses. Chief Wallace said Crosswalk will offer telemedicine and appointment scheduling and can arrange nonemergency transport when needed. He said Crosswalk makes revenue from payers such as insurers, and \"patients would not be getting bills from Crosswalk\" even if they lack insurance, though subsequent treatment at a clinic could generate charges from that clinic.

Board members asked how the transfer would affect dispatcher workload and whether calls could be transferred back. Chief Wallace said transferring the call frees the dispatcher from that call queue but noted some calls may be returned to dispatch if the nurse navigator determines the patient needs emergency services or insists on an ambulance. He said the rollout will include dispatcher training — \"it's not very long\" — and likely a roughly 90-day implementation period to allow public and staff education.

Chief Wallace said the city is coordinating with a medical director at Methodist Hospital, adding that \"Dr. Paige Asowski is our Methodist Hospital chief medical officer for the city of Lawrence\" and that medical direction will flag which calls are appropriate for nurse navigation.

Board member Lawrence moved approval of both the agency services agreement and the HIPAA business associate agreement; board member Miller seconded. The motion carried.

The agreements now move to the mayor for final approval and the city will begin training and a phased rollout if the mayor signs the documents.","The Lawrence City Safety Board approved an agreement with Crosswalk Health and a HIPAA business associate agreement to let dispatchers divert certain low-acuity 911 calls to nurse navigators at no cost to the city.","actionData","errors"]
