BACKGROUND:
Under County Service Area ENI-1, funding has been available for enhancements to the County EMS system,
including first responder medical training, equipment, and supplies. During the first two years that funding was
available, first responder funds were used primarily to purchase defibrillation and related equipment and to
purchase the MCI/disaster supply caches currently assigned to various fire agencies throughout the county.
Purchases for these programs have been largely completed, and some funds are available, as provided in-the
Measure H Service Plan, to reimburse fire services for the costs of providing training necessary to qualify
personnel for certification as EMT-1's and to purchase medical equipment and supplies to enhance first responder
medical. response. A priority claim form and an allocation schedule have been designed based on the number of
benefit assessment units within each fire jurisdiction. Each fire jurisdiction within CSA EM-1 was asked to submit
claims for reimbursement for EMS related training, equipment and supplies. According to the reimbursement
formula developed by the EMS Agency, claims are being paid to each fire agency developed by the EMS Agency,
claims are being paid to each fire agency up to the maximum allocation for that fire agency, with any remaining
funds allocated to those agencies which documented higher EMS expenditures.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these expenditures has been budgeted under CSA EM-1 (Measure H). There i o General Funding
