Committee reviews paramedic‑squad budget: roughly $974K for full staffing and district admin costs
Summary
Committee members reviewed draft financials showing district administrative costs (~$517,427 South; $121,514 North) and an estimated full‑time regional paramedic squad cost of about $973,693; speakers said combined district revenues could cover the squad with municipal contributions for local EMT teams.
Chief George and subcommittee members walked through draft apportionment and staffing numbers for a regional paramedic squad and district administrative costs. Chief George reported administrative costs at the district level of approximately $517,427 for the South and about $121,514 for the North. A regional paramedic-squad estimate for full-time staffing with part‑time backfill was presented at roughly $973,693.
As one participant explained, combining district-level funds and municipal contributions should put the paramedic squad “pretty close” to being funded, with call revenue potentially offsetting municipal squad costs. Chief George emphasized the figures are draft-level and that call-revenue sharing and municipal-level EMT squad funding will influence the net costs to each city.
