SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Jay Mentzer, Firefighter/Paramedic with the McCall Fire Department is requesting a letter of support (attached) for the McCall Fire and EMS application for a new ambulance, Mechanical
CPR, and Power Cot. Letters of support are imperative to the success of this grant.
The Idaho Emergency Medical Services Dedicated Grant Program provides funds collected from driver’s license fees to purchase Emergency Medical Service vehicles and patient care equipment
for EMS agencies in Idaho.
Many Idaho Emergency Medical Services agencies are funded through donations while some receive minimal funding through tax revenue. The Dedicated Grant Program enables these Emergency
Medical Service agencies to purchase vehicles and patient care equipment that they may never be able to otherwise afford.
Grant applications are available each year beginning in February and are due back to the Idaho Emergency Medical Services Bureau by May 31. Applicants receive notification of the status
of their grant application by July 31 and all money is distributed to successful applicants by September 30.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the request for a letter of support on behalf of the McCall Fire and EMS Application for a Grant to purchase a new ambulance, Mechanical CPR, and Power Cot and authorize the
Mayor to sign the letter.
