RECOMMENDATIONS:
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, upon approval of EMS Director for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this expenditure has been budgeted under County Service Area (CSA) EM-1 (Emergency Medical), 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.
