WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City Council adopted and approved
funding for the new Basic Life Support ("BLS") Peak Hours Ambulance Program ("BLS
Program") to help address the increased demand for medical services in the City of
Arcadia and to help reduce the Arcadia Fire Department's need for automatic aid from
other agencies for additional ground emergency medical transportation services for the

hour shift from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. staffed by two Ambulance Operator personnel; and
WHEREAS, with the positive outcome of the program thus far, the City desires to
expand the existing BLS Program by adding Saturday and Sunday transports, following
the current program's work schedule and staffing deployment, to further promote the
benefits of the current BLS Program and enhance the City's ability to triage its emergency
medical services transport response while adding cost recovery for such needed
emergency services; and
WHEREAS, the expansion of the BLS Program was not budgeted as part of the
Arcadia Fire Department's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget; and
WHEREAS, a budget appropriation in the amount of $23,900 is needed to fund
the expansion of the BLS Program for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024-25, covering
1
the period from March 2025 to June 2025; and
WHEREAS, the budget appropriation will be offset by additional revenues from
the expansion of the existing BLS Program; and

CALIFORNIA, DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The expansion of the current BLS Program by adding Saturday and
Sunday medical transports following the existing program's similar work schedule and
staffing deployment.
SECTION 2. The sum of twenty-three thousand nine hundred and zero cents
($23,900) is hereby appropriated, offset by additional revenues from the expanded
program.
