SUBJECT: FLORIDA EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM FOR
COUNTIES.
ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the City of
Miami Beach to receive and expend these grant funds on the projects
identified and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
INFORMATION: The Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services, Office of Emergency Medical Services is
authorized by Chapte:: 401, Part 2, Florida Statutes
to distribute County Grant Funds. These funds are
made available to eligible County Governments to
improve and expand their pre-hospital emergency
medical services. The Grant Program is an
innovative process, which enables E.M.S. agencies
and organizations to improve and expand E.M.S.
systems through their Boards of County
Commissioners. Ongoing costs for E.M.S. remain the
responsibilities of the Counties and E.M.S.
agencies and organizations. County Grant Funds are
derived from surcharges on various traffic
violations. The Counties are credited with an
annual allocation that remains theirs and must be
claimed by applying to H.R.S. , which is responsible
for distributing these funds annually.
The City of Miami Beach Fire Department has
requested allocation of the projected funds in the
amount of $59, 357 for Fire/Rescue work projects,
i.e. : "Paramedic Certification, Training
Conferences and Seminars, EMS Equipment and Hand
Held Computers for EMS Incident Reporting. " These
funds will be appropriated into the EMS Grant Fund
Account 199.6040. 000673 originally established by
the Office of Management and Budget in 1989.
FUNDING: County Grant Funds are derived from surcharges on
various traffic violations.
