Agenda 09/27/2022 Item #16E 8 (Budget Amendment within EMS Fund reallocating reserves to operating expenses)09/27/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a $500,000 Budget Amendment within EMS Fund (490) reallocating
reserves to operating expenses.
OBJECTIVE: To provide EMS with sufficient FY22 funding.
CONSIDERATIONS: The EMS operating expense budget is $7 million. As of early-September, $6.7
million has been spent. In general, operating expenses have gone up in FY22, especially the cost of
medical supplies, drugs, and medicines as well as the cost of fuel and other Fleet related charges to repair
and maintain the Ambulances and EMS vehicles. It is estimated that an additional $500,000 is needed to
ensure there is sufficient budget until September 30 to process internal Fleet billings and outside vendor
invoices.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is needed to move $500,000 out of Reserve for Contingencies
into EMS operating expense category within Fund 490.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues, and requires majority vote for Board action. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize a Budget Amendment from EMS fund 490 in the amount of
$500,000.
