Background:
On July 13, 2021, the Board authorized the reallocation of the Public Emergency Medical Transportation (PEMT) funds to purchase Lexipol, an electronic system to maintain the department’s policies and protocols, and replace the department’s web-based training platform. The Lexipol system will allow Fire Rescue to eliminate inconsistent and outdated policies, issue policies and training electronically, better keep up with changing legislation and practices, and produce policy acknowledgement and training documentation. The Department currently spends $25K annually for our web-based training platform and nothing on the policy manual and protocol tracking. This would be eliminated after FY22 when the contract expires and would help cover the net increase in recurring costs in FY25 estimated to be $71,000.00.
