Board accepts EMS study report; administrator directed to craft implementation plan

The board voted 19–0 to accept the ad hoc EMS study committee's final report and directed the county administrator to develop an implementation plan, the scope and timing of which will be returned to the executive committee and board for consideration. Administrator Alvarado said the committee met monthly and that the report documents specific service shortfalls and cross‑jurisdictional responses that are creating coverage gaps in parts of the county.
