OBJECTIVE: To receive approval from the Board of County Commissioners to recognize and
appropriate insurance proceeds and approve the reimbursement of the cost of AEDs and
upgrading computers utilized by EMS field personnel.
CONSIDERATIONS: In December 2010 insurance proceeds in the amount of $59,570.59
were received from .Tohns Eastern as reimbursement for funds expended for legal services in the
prior year by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). EMS is requesting approval to use these
funds for medical equipment and computcrs for field personnel.
EMS has been charged with providing basic life support training to all interested County
employees. This training includes the use of AEDs. As part of this program, County vehicles
driven by trained employees are being furnished with AEDs so that if a trained County employee
encounters a medical emergency, they will have the equipment to respond. $ I 0.360 would be
allocated to reimburse EMS for the AEDs which were purchased with funds that had been
~ budgeted for other necessary medical equipment replacement.
In addition, due to budget constraints, EMS has been unable for many years to budget for
replacement computcrs used by field personnel. Consequently, the inventory of computers is
outdated and needs to be upgraded due to age and also to make use of new technology to achieve
the goal of becoming totally electronic. The balance of $49,210.59 would allow the upgrade of
14 field computers.

simple majority vote. -.TW
