Council to consider resolution creating a regional EMS working group after fire companies issue RFP
Summary
Staff reported fire companies issued an RFP for short-term administrative EMS support and said the borough will present a resolution in August to form a joint working group with neighboring municipalities to study a possible regional EMS authority.
Bureau manager Britney Foreman told council there are both short-term and long-term approaches under consideration for emergency medical services. In the short term, she said, local fire companies have issued an RFP to secure administrative oversight assistance. In the long term, the borough has discussed forming a regional EMS authority and plans to bring a resolution to council next month to create a joint working group with neighboring municipalities.
"In the short term, the fire companies just put out an RFP... but in the long term, we are still... looking at a regional authority model. And so next month you're going to see a kind of resolution for a joint working group to help to appoint somebody to a joint working group with other municipalities in our region to research an authority and see how that could work," Foreman said.
