Referral History:

On May 23, 2017, the Board of Supervisors referred the matter of an increase in the basic assessment fee for County Service Area EM-1 to the Finance Committee after a hearing to consider a tentative report on the proposed assessment for the 2017/18 fiscal year.

On October 23, 2017, the attached report was submitted for consideration by the Committee. A presentation by Patricia Frost, Director of Emergency Medical Services, was provided to the Committee. The referral was to consider an increase to the basic assessment rate for County Service Area EM-1; however, the focus of the report was on system needs rather than funding. Ms. Frost was directed to return to Committee with a full report of need and recommendations on funding in February.
