EMS Director Jim Lee presented a transmittal to accept 2025–2026 Statewide Interoperable Communications Grant funding and to amend the project account budget; the committee approved the item 4-0. Lee said two RFPs (one for billing software and one for billing services) are expected to be received soon and will be discussed at a future meeting.
Committee members asked for more detailed call-volume reporting after Ms. Pisciotti noted 146 calls were recorded for the Town of Arcadia in the reporting period. Lee explained that, aside from a small number of cancellations, the county was involved to some extent in nearly all recorded calls and that both an ambulance and a fly car may be dispatched to the same incident. He said future reports can include a more comprehensive breakdown of call and response activity.
