Council Member Goolsby arrived at 5:15 p.m.  OLGOALSUPDATE  City Administrator Jonathan Tullos reported on the status of the 2024 QI goals, including completed  items and a timeline for unfinished items. FIREFIGHTER EMS PAY  Fire Chief Christopher Davis informed the Council there are three levels ofEMT: Paramedic (highest), Advanced EMT, and EMT (lowest), with Enterprise Fire being an ALS level 2 (Advanced EMT) non- transport agency through the Alabama Department of Public Health. Although EFD is an ALS agency, the city has never paid for or provided EMS training above an EMT basic level, meaning every advanced EMT and Paramedic in Enterprise Fire undertook this without assistance. Through a partnership with ESCC and the Career Center, the department, for now, has obtained grant funds to send firefighters to higher levels and currently has some personnel in the school. Regardless, he would like to see the city support firefighters ini increasing their level and skill. To promote al higher-level EMS in the department and offset the increased responsibility, liability, and training, he requested a 6% increase (inçentive pay) for fire personnel who currently or in the future obtain and maintain an ALS state license. Doing sO will increase the number of ALS personnel, providing a more consistent, higher level of care for citizens and eventually giving the department the numbers needed to move to an ALS Level 1 (Paramedic), non- transport agency. The estimated cost is approximately $30,077.41 for FY24 and $76,241.84 for FY25. Chief] Davis advised he would present ai request to amend the FY24 budget at an upcoming Council  Meeting.
