RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District $33,000 for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Fire First Responder medical equipment, medical supplies and EMS training to the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, as recommended by the EMS Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this expenditure has been budgeted under CSA EM-1, Zone A (Measure H). There is no General Fund impact.

BACKGROUND:

These funds are allocated to partially offset fire services’ added costs for medical supplies, equipment, and training through participation in an enhanced Emergency Medical Services system established through CSA EM-1.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Fire services would need to fund medical supplies, equipment and training out of their existing funds.
