Committee sends full EMS operating budget to finance ahead of planned city‑run ambulance service
Summary
Staff presented a full FY25 operating and personnel budget to prepare for a planned July 2026 transition to a city‑operated ambulance service; committee voted to forward detailed ramp‑up and actuals to the finance committee for review.
City staff presented a proposed full fiscal‑year 2025 operating and personnel budget for Emergency Medical Services designed to support a planned transition to city‑operated ambulance services beginning in July 2026. The packet included staffing counts, payroll projections and an organizational chart; staff summarized estimated annual run‑rate costs.
A staff presenter said developing a full FY25 EMS budget “provides the foundation for financial modeling and operational readiness” as the city prepares for full integration, and recommended the committee send the detailed budget and ramp‑up schedule to the finance committee for review. Councilors asked for revenue estimates, monthly ramp‑up figures and closer‑to‑actual cost projections that would show how payroll and other costs decline or increase during implementation.
A motion to recommend approval of the FY25 EMS operating and personnel budget and to forward the materials to finance passed on an oral vote. The finance committee will evaluate the ramp‑up plan, requested appropriations and projected revenues before any final council decision on the transition timeline and contracts.
