9

Mr. Carr presented the following:
WHEREAS, in the original proposal and plan for the start of Wayne County EMS, it was intended
that all Wayne County EMS ambulances would routinely be staffed at the ALS level, consisting of one
EMT and one Paramedic, as ALS staffing significantly improves department and resource versatility,
availability and personnel utilization, and
WHEREAS, when the ambulance portion of the service was started in 2023, there weren’t enough
Paramedics available for hire, necessitating that one ambulance was staffed at the EMT (Basic) level
for all shifts, with that staffing plan currently remaining, and
WHEREAS, since the inception of ambulance service, other programs, including the Paramedic
tuition assistance program, which utilizes donated funding for County EMTs to attain Paramedic
certification, have allowed for improved availability of Paramedics within the department, as the first
employees to participate in the tuition assistance program are now completing their Paramedic
training, and are anticipated to soon attain Paramedic certification, and
WHEREAS, during the remainder of 2026, it is anticipated that four EMT positions currently
existing within Wayne County EMS can be abolished, with said positions to be simultaneously
recreated as Paramedic positions as each of the four current employees attains Paramedic
certification, allowing for all County ambulances to be routinely staffed at the ALS level; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that, as each of no more than four Wayne County EMS currently employed EMTs
attain Paramedic certification, intended to occur during 2026, but occurring no later than June 30,
2027, the EMS Director, working in conjunction with Human Resources, shall be authorized to abolish
one full time EMT position and create one full time Paramedic position for each employee enrolled in
a Paramedic education program, as each employee attains Paramedic certification, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Budget Officer is hereby authorized to amend the 2026 County Budget as
follows:

WHEREAS, the Wayne County Emergency Medical Services Transporting Agency Proposal, first
developed in 2021, included specialty care transport capabilities by Wayne County EMS for
critically ill patients, and
WHEREAS, the development of specialty care capabilities is the only portion of the referenced
proposal that has not yet been implemented, and
WHEREAS, Rochester Regional Health, through Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, has
identified their need for additional advanced level patient care transfer capabilities (commonly
referred to as specialty care transfer) to act in addition to the limited number of advanced level EMS
provider agencies currently available and having operating authority that includes the Newark-Wayne
Community Hospital campus, and
WHEREAS, the development of this capability by Wayne County EMS would provide another
valuable resource for higher level advanced care for Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, in support
of the overall healthcare system within Wayne County for all County residents, and
WHEREAS, certain equipment has been identified as essential for Wayne County EMS to develop
this specialty care capability, most notably ventilators, intravenous pumps, and fully equipped cardiac
monitors, capable of monitoring certain invasive devices, and
WHEREAS, additional training for the Paramedics of Wayne County EMS who will become

10

eligible to participate in this program will be overseen and conducted by Medical Director Dr. Jamie
Syrett, working cooperatively with Dr. Michael Taylor of Newark-Wayne Hospital; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Wayne County Board of Supervisors recognizes and acknowledges the
importance of the availability of high level transfer capabilities for patients at Newark-Wayne
Community Hospital, as it can support any resident of Wayne County, and be it further
RESOLVED, that Madam Chair of the Board of Supervisors shall be authorized to execute an
agreement between the County and Rochester Regional Health, on behalf of Newark-Wayne
Community Hospital, relative to operations and billing as related to Wayne County EMS providing
patient transfer services for patients at Newark-Wayne Hospital, when transferring patients to other
hospitals, commonly to receive specialized care not immediately available at Newark-Wayne, with
