Report Title: Declare Emergency Medical Care Committee (EMCC) Vacant Seats C4 and C5
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT the resignations of Lance Maples and Nick Fajardo; DECLARE vacant (1) Seat C4 - Private Provider Field Paramedic Representative, and (2) Seat C5 - Public Provider Field Paramedic Representative on the Emergency Medical Care Committee (EMCC) for terms ending September 30, 2026; and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post these vacancies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this action.
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.
EMCC Member Lance Maples retired from his position in January 2026, so his seat on the committee must be vacated because he is no longer eligible for the public provider field paramedic seat.
EMCC Member Nick Fajardo provided written notification on February 11, 2026 to the Committee staff support person stating he is resigning his seat on the EMCC effective immediately due to a recent promotion.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to declare these vacancies will delay making new appointments to the seats.
