FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The EMCC is a multidisciplinary committee appointed by the County Board of Supervisors, to provide advice and recommendations on EMS-related matters to the Board, Health Services Director and its EMS Agency. Membership consists of consumer representatives, and representatives of EMS-related organizations and groups.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Joseph Barger, MD, officially retired from Contra Costa County EMS on October 31, 2015. His successor is David Goldstein, MD, as of November 1, 2015. Therefore, this seat on the EMCC would be transferred to David Goldstein as the only possible representative for Contra Costa Health Services. As per recommendation by Dr. Walker, it is necessary for David Goldstein, MD to take over this seat on the EMCC.

Under the EMCC Bylaws the assigned seat may only be held by the EMS Medical Director and would be transferred in the event of a change in the County EMS Medical Director.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Board Order is not approved, this position on the EMCC will not be filled, and Contra Costa Health Services will have no representative at the committee.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
