ITEM BACKGROUND: The Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is
authorized by Chapter 401, Part II, Florida Statues to distribute county grant funds. County grant funds
are derived from surcharges on the fines for various traffic violations. A portion of these funds are made
available to eligible county governments to improve and expand their prehospital emergency medical

On-going costs for EMS and replacement of equipment cannot be funded under this grant program. They
remain the responsibility of the counties and EMS agencies and organizations. Furthermore, county grant
funds cannot be used to supplant the existing county budget allocations.
The projected amount of Monroe County's award for FY 2002 is $53,583.56. The application being
