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
defibrillation-related equipment, and the purchase of MCl/disaster supply caches assigned to
various fire agencies throughout the County. The Health Services Department provides each
jurisdiction with its benefit units based allocation up front. Each jurisdiction is required to use
the funds for and in accordance with the existing guidelines and to provide an annual report on
how funds were used prior to receiving the next year's allocation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for these expenditures has been budgeted under CSA EM-1 (Measure H). There is
no General Fund impact.
