EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Florida Emergency Medical Services County Grant Application,
Request for Grant Fund Distribution Form and Resolution to fund Training and Medical/Rescue
Equipment for Collier County EMS in the amount of $63,560.
OBJECTIVE: To expand and improve pre-hospital emergency medical services utilizing State grant
money.
CONSIDERATIONS: The State of Florida established the Emergency Medical Services Grant Award
Program for the expansion and/or improvement of emergency medical services. A grant award notice
was recently received from the State of Florida indicating that Collier County’s grant allocation for fiscal
year 2019 will be $63,560.00. A resolution is required to be included with the grant application stating
that funds will not be used to supplant the EMS budget and certifying that the grant funds will be used to
improve the County’s emergency medical services. Also included with the application is a Request for
Grant Fund Distribution, which directs the Florida Department of Health to remit the grant funds to
Collier County Board of Commissioners. Approval of these documents also constitutes acceptance of the
grant when awarded.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with applying for this grant. Should the grant
be awarded, staff will bring back budget amendments recognizing grant revenue and budgeting
expenditures and match in a dedicated project number.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Florida Emergency
Medical Services County Grant Application, the Request for Grant Distribution and a Resolution
confirming that grant funds will not supplant the EMS budget.

Your 2019-2020 state emergency medical services (EMS) county grant can now be applied for, and
for your convenience I have attached the application forms to use. Please use these forms and not
previous year forms because there have been some recent changes in a financial code and other
aspects.
It is okay to apply for the new grant even while your previous award is active. When your previous
grant ends you can then request spending authority for any remaining balance including interest,
under the new grant.
Your budget must total the amount of this year’s grant. I have attached a list of the amounts this
year for all counties. Use the amount in the total column.
This grant opportunity is on the state EMS website, the internet address for which is the last line of
my signature block, but when you get to that location you will need to scroll down to access the
segment for these “county” grants.
We would appreciate the opportunity to provide the 2019-2020 county EMS grant funds to you.
