Committee approves EMS Week declaration, CARES UP appropriations and Lexipol wellness contract
Summary
Wyoming County voted to request a Board declaration of EMS Week (May 17–23, 2026), appropriated CARES UP grant funds (including $41,000 and $25,000 line items), and approved a $29,500 Lexipol wellness solution contract for first responders.
The Public Safety Committee took several actions related to emergency medical services and first-responder wellness on April 30.
The committee voted to request the Board of Supervisors declare May 17–23, 2026 as EMS Week in Wyoming County. It also appropriated $41,000 to General Grants from CARES UP grant funds and separately appropriated $25,000 for Recruitment and Retention grant funds; both appropriation motions were carried and referred to Finance as noted in the minutes.
The committee authorized a professional services contract with Lexipol LLC for implementation and subscription of a wellness solution for law enforcement, fire/EMS and corrections in an amount not to exceed $29,500, effective May 12, 2026–May 11, 2028 (MUNIS CONTRACT #3770). Minutes explicitly note the expense is offset by the CARES UP grant. The committee also approved several overnight travel requests for EMS and fire training covered in whole or part by sponsorships and grants.
