Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
May 6, 2025, Item 4c), the Board of Supervisors approved the Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26, which included a discussion of one-time funding in the amount of $66,000 for Fire and Medical Emergency Services for Ambulance Contracts with Anderson Valley Community Services District, Long Valley Fire Protection District, and Covelo Fire.
Summary of Request:
Since Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15, the County of Mendocino has set aside one-time funds for Advanced Life Support (ALS) services to vulnerable and underserved communities in Mendocino County, to sustain and enhance ALS and emergency medical services. Since then, the County of Mendocino has contracted with Long Valley Fire Protection (LVFPD) as needed each FY to provide ALS services in Laytonville, CA and surrounding areas.
The proposed retroactive one-time funding Agreement with LVFPD outlines ALS and Basic Life Support (BLS) expectations for FY 2025-26, including provisions of the following:
1. Monthly reports exhibiting ALS/BLS staffing supported with project funds.
2. Quarterly reports, including financial, describing specific ALS/BLS enhancements that have been achieved within the system.
3. Lists of training opportunities, educational opportunities, or specific equipment/supply enhancements made possible through the Agreement.
4. Evidence of enrollment in order to be eligible for Inter Governmental Transfers and supplemental funding.
5. Documentation required for the Fiscal Assessment conducted by Coastal Valleys EMS Agency.
6. A one-time detailed report upon conclusion of the Agreement describing challenges, opportunities and successes.
The proposed retroactive one-time funding Agreement was drafted soon after the Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved the Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 on May 6, 2025. The draft Agreement was then reviewed, discussed, and revised as needed by the Department and the contractor, and became ready for final processing in early July 2025. The Agreement routed through the County approval process, was released for BOS approval mid-August 2025, and submitted for retroactive BOS approval at the earliest available meeting.
