<br />Contract increased $13.85 from 2017; therefore a phase-in of this increase ($13.85 divided by 3) to make the contract "whole" in the last year
<br />would be acceptable with the understanding that at next contract renewal that full cost of providing EMS services (General Fund, ESD and CIP
<br />budgets would be expected).

<br />2020$ 33.26
<br />2021$ 37.88
<br />2022$ 42.50
<br />Notes:
<br />(1) Annually merit increases are provided based on performance evaluations. The City's average merit increase is 3%; however, staff can receive up to 5%. New hires
<br />are subjec to a six-month probationary period at which time they have an evaluation with a possible up to 5% pay increase. After a probationary evaluation, the employee
<br />will not be evaluated for a performance merit increase until a year. In the middle of 2019, the EMS Chief and Fire Chief presented to City Council a disparity in pay rates
<br />for EMS & Fire compared to surrounding cities. The City Council approved a 20% salary increase for all EMS paramedics (Asst. Chief and Chief were not included) and
<br />25% salary increase for all Firefighters. The new FY 2020-23 contract was based upon the FY 2019-20 budget which included a full-year of these increases as well as the
<br />addition of an EMS Captain to cover for Shift C (this coverage had been done by the Assistant EMS Chief).
<br />(2) The increase in Supplies, Services & Charges and Capital Outlay can be contributed to the new contract for FY 2020-23 including the Emergency Service District
<br />budget in the calculations. This budget has never been included in the calculations, while this budget had been included in the agreement with Shoreacres and Morgans
<br />Point. The ESD budget provides funding for EMS supplies, required training, maintenance agreements for equipment, funding for replacement of capital and new capital
<br />items. The addition of the $418,193 ESD budget along with the increases in salary market adjustments for parademics is the main reason for the 47.75% or $1.3 million
<br />annual increse in the EMS budget from 2017 vs. 2020. For FY 2019-20, the ESD budget included:
<br />* $20,000 - Protective Clothing for regular duty and specialty uniforms to include badges, name tags, duty belts, rain coats, etc.
<br />* $51,000 - Machinery, Tools & Equipment Supplies for emergency equipment for the new Captains Tahoe ($11,000), 5 Handtevy Pedi Emergency System ($10,000)
<br />and 2 e500 Patient Ventilators ($30,000).
<br />* $38,000 - Computer Equipment, which included a Dell 1.6TB Computer Server Storage for Body Cameras ($18,000) and 25 Coban Body Cameras ($20,000).
<br />* $21,375 - Training & Seminars related to all the necessary required annual training for paramedics.
<br />* $35,700 - Machinery, Tools & Equipment Services related to Bio-Hazard Disposal Contract ($5,000), Stryker Power Loader/Stretcher Maintenance Contract ($14,200)
<br />and Stryker EKG/Defib Lucas Maintenance Contract ($16,500).
<br />* $167,118 - Motor Pool Lease Fees, which is the annual amount required to pre-pay for replacement of capital vehicles and equipment. The City does not issue debt to
<br />pay for these type of capital items. The City utilizes an internal service fund for vehicle and equipment replacement, which is paid annually into the fund to pre-fund the
<br />replacement of these type of capital items.
<br />* $40,000 - Capital Machinery & Equipment for the purchase of 12 Lead EKG/Defib Monitor LP15 Units
<br />* $45,000 - Motor Vehicles for the purchase of the new Captains Tahoe.
<br />(3) CIP Calculations increased by 36% due to the addition of a CIP project at the EMS Headquarters on Spencer Highway. The EMS Headquarters was in need of an
<br />expansion to provide segergated dormitory facilities for each paramedic on-duty. In FY 2019-20 this CIP project was budgeted at $583,000 and the City is finishing the
<br />design/engeering of this project and out for bid on the project.
