MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Tony Prior, Fire Chief
DATE: March 31, 2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3279-2022 Southern Region EMS Council Code Blue Grant
The City of Kenai Fire Department was successful in receiving a grant from the State of Alaska
Southern Region EMS Council for their Code Blue, Phase 22 cycle. We applied for a grant to
purchase immobilization equipment to be placed on our ambulances for medical treatment of
patients suffering trauma. The items approved in our grant submission were items we identified
as needing to be replaced from our current inventory of equipment.
The grant total was for $4,699.80, with a 10% match requirement for a total expenditure of
$5,222.00. We have within our budget the funds available to provide the 10% match to purchase
these items, and we are requesting approval to accept this grant.
Your consideration of accepting this grant is greatly appreciated.

RE: Code Blue Phase 22
Dear Mr. Andersen:
The Code Blue Phase 22 equipment request submitted by your agency for consideration has gone through
a rigorous review process. There have been multiple review steps along the way, which include Southern
Region staff, Board of Directors Equipment Review Committee, the Southern Region Board of Directors,
and finally the Statewide Code Blue Steering Committee.
During these steps, items have been considered based on many established criteria, including whether they
are essential EMS equipment as defined in the statewide Code Blue manual (e.g., items for patient
care/transport, EMS education, etc.), whether they meet minimum criteria, the reasonableness of the
request, application to the community setting, documentation of need, costs, how they fit into regional and
statewide priorities, medical direction, and a host of others. In addition, there are always more requests than
can ultimately be funded, so some simply do not make the list, or their funding is capped.
The portion of funding we receive from the State via the Governor's Capital Equipment bill is currently
pending in the legislative process. Once we have been notified, we will be contacting you to see if you still
need the items and if you still have the community match available.
If your item is listed below as Approved, your project(s) are on the State Code Blue Equipment list and
pending grant processes. If it is Changed, it was altered within the review process and an explanation will
be detailed below. If it is listed as Not Funded, it will not be considered in this Code Blue phase and an
explanation will be detailed below.
