Substitute resolution amending Common Council File 980202 relative to acceptance and funding of a Wisconsin EMS Funding Assistance Program grant. (Fire Department)
ANLS:
This substitute resolution authorizes the Milwaukee Fire Department to accept and fund a Wisconsin EMS Funding Assistance Program grant (formerly Act 102) from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services in the amount of $68,296 with a city share of $22,795 and a grantor share of $45,500. Grant funds will be used to provide additional medical service supplies and CPR, EMT, and safety training.
BODY:
Whereas, Under the terms of Wisconsin EMS Funding Assistance Program, the City of Milwaukee appears to be eligible for grant funds from the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services, for additional medical service supplies and training; and
Whereas, It would appear that City involvement in this grant and aid program, and more specifically in a grant and aid project involving additional financial support of $23,000 for emergency medical services would result in medical service supplies and funding for continuing education for CPR, EMT, and safety training; and
Whereas, The State's program has changed to provide funding for EMT refresher training directly to the provider, rather than the training institute (Milwaukee Area Technical College); and
Whereas, The Department of Administration, Division of Intergovernmental Relations, has determined that operation of this grant project from July 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 would cost approximately $68,295 of which $45,500 or 67% would be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The local share of this grant project $22,795 or 33% can be provided from the following sources:
In Kind Share $22,795
Out-of-Pocket City Share -0-
Local, Non City Share -0-
; and
Whereas, The Department of Administration, Division of Intergovernmental Relations, has determined that the benefits to the City from this grant project appear to exceed the City's share of costs and other obligations to be incurred under this project; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that application to the Department of Health and Social Services under the terms specified above, to be administered by the Milwaukee Fire Department is authorized; and, be it

3. The ratio of Out-of-Pocket City Share to Grantor's Share increases from that specified above; and, be it
