RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to pay the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District $33,000 for EMS Fire First Responder medical equipment, medical supplies and EMS training to the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, upon approval of EMS Director for FY 2016-17. (100% Measure H Funds, CSA EM-1, Zone A).

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.
