MEMORANDUM

FROM:
Robert Rehr, Fire Chief
DATE: June 18, 1999
SUBJECT:
REQUEST CITY COMMISSION APPROVAL AND RESOLUTION
TO ALLOW PARTICIPATION IN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY
E.M.S. GRANTS PROGRAM.
Each year the County E.M.S. Grants Program makes funds available to licensed E.M.S.
Providers. To utilize these non-matching funds we must submit an application
requesting the purchase of equipment or services which are not budgeted through the City
and a supporting resolution from the City Commission. The resolution is needed to
demonstrate that the Delray Beach Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, in
fact, represents the Emergency Medical Services for the City and that the equipment or
services purchased with these funds expands and improves the level of care provided to
our citizens.
For FY 99-2000 we wish to purchase an additional Special Events Response Vehicle
(SERV). The Delray Beach Fire Department provides EMS site coverage for City
sponsored special events. Data from both the Chamber of Commerce and our Parks and
Recreation Department reflect a 17% increase of visitor participation in these events
from FY 96/97 to FY 97/98. Our Department's dispatch records from FY 97/98 have 45
EMS calls being made associated with these special events. By adding an additional
vehicle, EMS delivery and response time will be enhanced to serve the increasing number
of citizens and visitors attending these special events.
We request this item be placed on the July 6, 1999 agenda. A copy of the proposed
resolution is attached for review.
