Eddy County accepts Permian Strategic Partnership grant to add six EMS-only positions
Summary
The commission approved A-26-59, a grant agreement with Permian Strategic Partnership, Inc., to fund six new EMS-only personnel under a highway-safety staffing model; the motion passed 5-0.
Joshua R. Mack presented a grant agreement (A-26-59) between Eddy County and Permian Strategic Partnership, Inc., that would create six new EMS-only personnel positions modeled on a highway safety program. Mack said the personnel would operate under a highway-safety mentality similar to Texas’ HERO program.
Commissioner Sarah Cordova moved, and Commissioner Hayley Klein seconded, approval of the grant agreement; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: adding six EMS-dedicated personnel could affect emergency response capacity and staffing costs; the grant provides funding and a model for deployment. The county recorded the agreement as Exhibit 2.
