approved by motion.
E. General Discussion
The City of Winter Springs Fire Department has been transporting Emergency Medical
Patients to area hospitals since January 15, 1996, as authorized by City Ordinance No. 608
(attachment 1). A companion Ordinance No. 613 (attachment 2) was authorized by the
City Commission on February 12, 1996, providing for financial protection and safeguards
regarding the Transport Service for the City. Ordinance No. 613 provides that the
Transport Service will cease on or before September 30, 1997, unless the City passes an
Ordinance extending the Transport Service.
The Transport Service has been operating for over 17 months and has not created any
financial impact on the operational budget of the Fire Department. No General Funds of
the City whatsoever are flowing into or supporting the Transport fund. The Transport
revenue has actually lowered expenditures in the operational budget of the Fire
Department, and costs associated with Emergency Medical Services such as operational
supplies, personnel costs for the transport time, fuel for the Rescue units, as well as tires
and maintenance have all been allocated to the Transport Service revenue (attachment 4).
It is the Fire Chiefs recommendation that the Transport Service be continued indefinitely
or until such time as the City Commission determines that this is not a viable public service
of the City of Winter Springs. If the Transport Service is not continued the Fire
Department's preliminary budget submission for fiscal year 1997/98 will require a revision
to include expenditures being allocated to the Transport Services fund.
The revenue collected from January 15, 1996, to April 30, 1997, has been $89,950.61,
during the same period expenses have been $30,642.90. This leaves a fund balance of
$59,307.71 to date for this service (attachment 5).
