OBJECTIVE: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a Budget Amendment
recognizing carryforward of accumulated interest within the EMS Grants Fund (491).
CONSIDERATIONS: EMS has been utilizing hiealthware's EMS 2000 for the past eight
years. This vendor was sold and consequently support for this software will discontinue; requiring
new software. The implementation of this software will also require the upgrade of field
computers to support the new technology. Due to current budget restrictions, it is not possible
for EMS to include the cost for the upgrade of computers used by field personnel in their
budget. Interest has accumulated in the amount of $18,367.71 from previous years'
County Grants.
The recognition of accumulated interest income to upgrade field computers has been approved by
the State of Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Year ending September 30, 2009 carryforward (fund balance) of
$109,800 includes this $18,367.71 of interest and is available for use within the grant fund.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action. -J AK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact
resulting from this action.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a Budget
Amendment recognizing carryforward in the EMS Grant Fund and appropriate the
expenditures to the current EMS County Grant.
