OBJECTIVE: To recognize interest earned by EMS County Grant funding received by the Florida Department of

increase the safety of patients and field personnel. Funds will be used to purchase medical and rescue equipment.

including interest, to the next year’s grant for County expenditure in support of the grant program. The EMS Grant

is seeking Board approval to recognize and appropriate this accrued interest towards expenditures in support of
medical and rescue equipment.

to date ($7,096.60) and carryforward ($207.69) within EMS Grant Fund (4053), Project 33655.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and
requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
