BACKGROUND:
Under County Service Area EM-1, funding has been available for enhancements to the County EMS system,
including first responder medical training, equipment, and supplies. Initial first responder service enhancements
under CSA EM-1 included the purchase of defibrillation and related equipment, and the purchase of MCI/disaster
supply caches assigned to various fire agencies throughout the County. In the past, funding has been based upon
reimbursement for actual qualifying expenditures up to a predetermined allocation for each jurisdiction.
Experience has shown that each jurisdiction has reached its maximum allocation each year. To simplify the
distribution of Measure H first responder funds, the Health Services Department is now proposing to provide the
full allocation to each jurisdiction up front. Each jurisdiction would be required to use the funds for in accordance
with the existing guidelines and to provide an annual report on how funds were used.
An additional $1,500 would be paid to San Ramon Valley Fire to offset half of the $3,000 training costs related
to implementing an Emergency Medical Dispatching program being piloted inSa Ramon Valley for use
countywide.
