7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Last year the Fire Department's expenditures on medical supplies was approximately $159,000.
Fiscal year target amounts in this category were capped at $143,500. In order to meet the needs
of the Fire Department's medical supply use, a change order for $16,000 was processed last fiscal
year. The Fire Department currently purchases medical supplies and services from a total of five
vendors due to the availability of individual products. These five vendors are detailed below
with a description of current, available, and requested funding to properly equip and supply
emergency units for the remainder of the fiscal year. Based on the most current emergency call
total of 13,900 as of November 30, 2015, the Fire Department will experience nearly 2,500
additional emergency calls.
Due to this increase in call volume and the ongoing increases to the cost of medical supplies, the
Fire Department is seeking a one -time approval for an additional $118,500 to purchase medical
supplies needed for the remaining 2015 -2016 fiscal year.
