Court backs EMS grant applications, including $650,000 proposal to sustain crisis response unit
Summary
EMS leadership won court approval to apply for a $50,000 Partnership for Success grant and a larger grant (up to $650,000) to extend the crisis response unit, add two community paramedics and secure staffing and equipment. Both applications were authorized with no local match required on the requested grants described in the meeting.
Director Moe asked the court for permission to file two grant applications. The first, a Partnership for Success grant, would provide $50,000 for community education, outreach and staff training and requires no local match. The second application, described in the packet as "Bridal Hills Transformations," seeks roughly $650,000 to sustain the crisis response unit past July 2027, hire two additional community paramedics and acquire apparatus.
Court members discussed match requirements and feasibility; staff confirmed both grants as no-match applications. The court approved motions to proceed with filing both grants. "It is a $50,000 grant. There is no match," an EMS representative said about the Partnership for Success application; on the larger application staff said, "We are hoping to write it for the full 650,000." The court approved filing and asked to receive the grant documents for signature when ready.
