RE: 1993 Weld County EMS Plan Update
Dear Arleen:
Enclosed is Weld County's 1993 EMS Plan update . Attached to the
update is the signed payment request form from our County
Commissioners.
Page 15 provides the "required narrative" reflecting how the
subsidy funds ($13,254. 83) were used to upgrade EMS in Weld County.
As you know, all of the money is used to provide the state-mandated
physician advisor services for EMT-Bs- The cost in Weld County was
$15,000 for 1993, so all state funds were applied to that expense .
I was elected by our county EMS Council to replace Dr . Randy
Gordon, M.D- as Weld County's contact person. That change is
reflected on page one. If you have any question or need additional
information, please don't hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
ary M. McCabe, Director
