EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt an Ordinance repealing and replacing the Public Safety Authority
Ordinance No. 2012-23, as amended, for the purpose of reestablishing the Public Safety Authority
("PSA") as the Emergency Medical Authority ("EMA") and to approve a Resolution retaining the
current PSA members as EMA members for the remainder of their established terms.
OBJECTIVE: To repeal and replace Ordinance No. 2012-23, as amended, and reestablish the Public
Safety Authority ("PSA") as the Emergency Medical Authority ("EMA")to clarify its purposes, powers
and duties and to retain the PSA members as EMA members.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 26, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No.
2012-23 establishing the Collier County Public Safety Authority and the Board subsequently amended the
ordinance on September 23, 2014 to analyze issues pertaining to pre-hospital emergency medical
treatment and transport system(s) in Collier County.
The members of the Public Safety Authority recommend that the Board rename the advisory board to the
Emergency Medical Authority to more accurately reflect its current purposes and duties. In order for the
Advisory Board to assist the Board of County Commissioners with issues associated with pre-hospital
emergency medical services, they must be able to request, review and analyze information from other
government and private entities providing pre-hospital emergency medical services to properly evaluate
current and future needs.
The Board approved the proposed Ordinance and authorized its advertising at its regularly scheduled
meeting on November 15, 2016 (Item 16E7). Staff also recommends that the Board approve a Resolution
retaining the current PSA members as EMA members throughout their current Board approved terms.
Notable changes to the ordinance include authorizing the Emergency Medical Authority to review all
Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity ("COPCN"). Additional changes are included to allow
the EMA to work to improve and enhance pre-hospital emergency medical care including issues related to
advanced life support, basic life support, first responders programs, and other future EMS delivery
programs County-wide.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of advertising is $410.91.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires
majority vote for approval. -CMG
RECOMMENDATION: For the Board to adopt an Ordinance repealing and replacing the Public Safety
Authority Ordinance No. 2012-23, as amended, for the purpose of reestablishing the Public Safety
Authority ("PSA") as the Emergency Medical Authority ("EMA") and to approve a Resolution retaining
the current PSA members as EMA members for the remainder of their established terms.
