Summary
Board authorized restructuring EMS positions as EMTs complete paramedic training, purchases of Hamilton-T1 ventilators (not to exceed $44,166) and invasive pressure adapters ($3,900), and authorized an agreement with Rochester Regional Health to support specialty-care transfers.
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors approved a set of measures intended to expand advanced-level EMS services. Mr. Carr presented Resolution 369-26 authorizing the EMS Director, as employees complete Paramedic certification, to abolish up to four EMT positions and recreate them as Paramedic positions (anticipated during 2026, no later than June 30, 2027). The Board authorized a $21,328 intra-departmental budget reallocation to fund Paramedic positions.
Separately, Resolution 370-26 authorized an agreement between Wayne County and Rochester Regional Health (on behalf of Newark-Wayne Community Hospital) for specialty-care patient transfers and allowed the EMS Director to purchase two Hamilton-T1 ventilators with maintenance and an initial supply of patient circuits at a total cost not to exceed $44,166, plus invasive pressure adapters not to exceed $3,900. The Board also authorized a $48,066 budget amendment to cover equipment purchases. Mr. Carr moved the measures; they were adopted on roll call.
