With the County Matching Grant <br />Awards, we would be able to purchase. two new modular ambulances <br />adding additional backup units to our ALS resources. The computer <br />equipment at the Emergency Services stations would be utilized by <br />both the EMS and Fire divisions. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Two new ALS transport vehicles will provide Indian River County <br />with modern, reliable emergency ambulances, along with providing <br />for additional ambulances to be utilized at standby events, multi- <br />casualty incidents and transport of the special needs population <br />during evacuation. <br />The purchase and network of computer/software equipment will allow <br />the Emergency Services EMS and Fire divisions to transmit response <br />information to the main offices allowing current staff a more <br />time/cost effective method of compiling state mandated responses and <br />trauma information with the ability to electronically transfer the <br />information to the state EMS office. Improved inventory control of <br />medical supplies and capitol -equipment would be realized. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve'ithe <br />FY 92-93 EMS Matching Grant Application. Staff also requests that <br />the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary documents <br />to apply for funds from the Department of Health and Rehabilita ive <br />Services in the amount of $72,620.00 to improve and expand,the <br />prehospital EMS system in the County. <br />51 <br />HOOK Lo PI°ASI <br />NOV 19 `991 <br />i <br />
