Seaside Heights establishes Emergency Medical Services division and approves EMS contract

The Seaside Heights Borough Council on Feb. 4 adopted an ordinance creating a Seaside Heights Emergency Medical Services Division and approved civil‑service job descriptions for the new division, moving the borough toward a formal municipal EMS structure.

The council adopted Ordinance No. 26‑01 to establish the Seaside Heights Emergency Medical Services Division and Ordinance No. 26‑02 to add related civil‑service job descriptions. Both ordinances were adopted on second reading and final passage during the meeting; the record shows motions and roll‑call approvals by council members present.

The council also approved a consent‑agenda resolution awarding a contract to Tri‑Boro First Aid Squad for emergency medical services. The Tri‑Boro contract is listed on the consent agenda along with other routine approvals; the transcript records the contract award as part of the consent items but does not list a separate roll‑call tally for that individual contract.

Council members who moved and seconded the ordinance and consent motions are recorded in the official minutes. The ordinances were adopted with no public comment at second reading.

The adoption of the EMS ordinance and related job descriptions formalizes borough oversight of emergency medical services and creates roles the borough can staff under civil‑service rules. The Tri‑Boro contract will provide operational EMS services under terms referenced in the consent agenda; the minutes do not include contract dollar amounts or service start dates.

The council’s actions take effect according to the ordinances’ stated effective dates (not specified in the meeting minutes).
