POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support an amendment to the 2017 Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund budget?
BACKGROUND:
The city provides emergency medical services that are funded from fees for medical transports. An Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund was established to account for the revenues and expenditures related to emergency medical transports.
During the 2018 budget preparation, it was determined that it is necessary to reallocate approximately $350,000 in personnel expenses in 2017 from the General Fund to the Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund due to the addition of peak hour medic units. This reallocation was included in the 2017 estimates for the 2018 budget.
This change in allocation may have an impact on the sustainability of this fund over the next five years. Staff will continue to monitor revenues and expenditures related to emergency medical services.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Amending the annual budget is a typical process that the city conducts every year.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund 2017 budget is recommended to increase by $350,000. It is estimated that the 2018 ending cash balance in this fund will be $676,863.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance on first reading amending the 2017 Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund budget.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve an ordinance on second reading to amend the Emergency Medical Transportation Enterprise Fund 2017 budget.
