IAFF Local 851, having participated in the Joint Elected Officials Task Force on Ambulance Transport Systems, recommends the following: 

·      That General Fund Support be allocated to the Ambulance Transport Fund.  Such support should not replace transport fees charges to the public, but should assist in short-term fund stabilization.

·      That long term fund stabilization will rely on the jurisdictions of Eugene and Springfield forming a Fire District that provides Ambulance Transport  as well as Fire and Rescue services.

·      That the recommended changes in Service Area Boundaries be adopted, allowing a more urban/rural split in response.
