Committee approves budget amendment to cover increased EMT and CPR training
Summary
The Public Safety Committee approved a budget amendment using surplus training revenues to cover additional EMT and CPR classes after enrollment exceeded projections; staff described the change as budget‑neutral. Committee members sought rough class counts during discussion.
The Chautauqua County Public Safety Committee approved a resolution to amend the 2025 budget for the Department of Emergency Medical Services to cover additional EMT and CPR training costs.
Sam Zafuto, deputy director of finance, told the committee the amendment uses surplus revenue from the training program and is budget neutral. Staff said they held two EMT classes this year and that CPR classes “way exceeded” earlier projections; a committee member asked for rough numbers and staff estimated class sizes of about 15.
The committee asked whether the change increased long‑term expenses; staff responded that the increase in expenses was offset by surplus revenue from the training programs. With no further questions the committee approved the resolution by voice vote.
Next steps: the budget amendment will be implemented as described and training staff will continue to report enrollment levels to finance.
