SUBJECT: Authorize Payment to San Ramon Valley Fire Protection ,,7e
District for EMS Enhancements
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize payment of$131,279.62 to the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District(SRVFPD)to partially offset costs for EMS
enhancements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this item will be made from County Service Area EM-I Zone A funds designated for EMS system enhancements in the San
Ramon Valley area. There is no General Fund impact_
BACKGROUND:
SRVFPD,the County's emergency ambulance service contractor for CSA EM-I Zone A(the San Ramon Valley area),has undertaken and
maintains a program of comprehensive EMS services. During the coming year,SRVFPD plans to purchase a new ambulance as a part of its
EMS program. SRVFPD is requesting$131,279.62 from FY 2002-2003 CSA EM-1 Zone A funds to offset costs for this EMS enhancement.
SRVFPD provides both first responder and emergency ambulance services within CSA EM-I Zone A(San Ramon Valley). Ambulance
services are provided under an exclusive operating area agreement between the County and SRVFPD similar to contracts in effect with
American Medical Response(AMR)and with Moraga-Urinda Fire for CSA EM-I Zone B(covering the entire county except the San Ramon
Valley area). Unlike the AMR and Moraga-Orinda Fire contracts,the SRVFPD contract does not provide for an annual emergency ambulance
subsidy,and a lower CSA EM-1 assessmentrate has therefore been established for Zone A. Sufficient CSA EM-1 Zone A funds are available
to cover this request. CSA EM-I Zone A funds can be used only for EMS enhancements benefiting the San Ramon Valley area.
