® MEMORANDUM

TO: David T. Harden, City Manager
FROM: Robert Rehr, Fire Chief
DATE: September 12, 1995
SUBJECT: REQUEST CITY COMMISSION APPROVAL AND RESOLUTION
TO ALLOW PARTICIPATION IN THE COUNTY PRO-RATA
GRANTS PROGRAM.
Each year the County E.M.S. Program makes Pro-Rata funds available to licensed E.M.S.
Providers. To utilize these non-matching funds we must submit an application requesting
the purchase of equipment which is 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 purchased with these
funds expands and improves the level of care provided to our citizens.
For FY 95-96 we wish to purchase two (2) New Eagle Communication Headsets and
Adapters ($1010), one (1) Emergency Radio Antenna ($1995) and one (1) LSP Autovent
3000 unit ($2200) which will aid the EMT and Paramedics in provision of pre-hospital
services. The total cost is $5205 which will be paid for from the grant funds.
We request this item be placed on the September 19, 1995 consent agenda. A copy of the
proposed resolution is attached for review.
