Conduct public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 2010/321 confirming Tentative Report for
CSA EM-1 (Emergency Medical Services) and declaring intent to levy specified
assessments to be collected with the FY 2010-11 property taxes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No General Fund impact. Proposed FY 2010-11 assessments for CSA EM-1 total
$217,105.82 for Zone A and $4,437,035.00 for Zone B.
BACKGROUND:
Revenues from the CSA EM-1 assessments are used to provide an enhanced countywide
emergency medical service system as approved by the voters with the passage of Measure
H in November 1988. Enhanced EMS services include additional staffed paramedic units to
respond to 9-1-1 calls; support for firefighter EMS first responder programs, EMS
communications, and miscellaneous EMS enhancements.

The basic assessment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
rates proposed are $3.94 per single-family residence or benefit unit for Zone A (San
Ramon Valley) and $10.00 per single-family residence or benefit unit for Zone B
(balance of county). The lower rate for Zone A reflects the fact that certain EMS
enhancements are funded by other revenue sources in the San Ramon Valley area. The
proposed FY 2008-09 rates are unchanged from the previous year.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to set the CSA EM-1 assessment rates prior to August 10, 2010 may result in the
EM-1 assessments not being included in the property tax bills countywide.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
CLOSED the hearing: ADOPTED Resolution No. 2010/321 confirming Tentative

DIRECTED the EMS Director pursue dialogue with the appropriated agencies and
contractors in regard to interest in taking steps to increase the levy amount that was set
in 1988.
