BACKGROUND

At the May 10, 2016 Work Session, information was presented providing a potential plan of action to pursue an EMS Enterprise Fund by FY 2020 in incremental annual steps. 

POLICY IMPACT

This action begins to move more of the cost of EMS services to users as opposed to taxpayers.  It also provides an opportunity for consumers to take advantage of price protection based on an offered subscription plan.
