MEMO:
O: CM Rick Koch
FROM: Battalion Chief Prior
DATE: 8/13/14
SUBJECT: Funds from KPEMS for instructor course
Rick,
Every year Kenai Peninsula Emergency Medical Services, Inc receives funding for
training to be split amongst departments on the peninsula for various medical training.
As our department is in good standings with KPEMS, we are allowed to request funds
for training of our staff personnel. At the end of their fiscal year 2014 (June 30th) they
had training funds that had not been spent and were still available to us. We submitted
a request to fund the training and travel expenses for Pete Coots to attend an EMS MCI
Instructor course that was attended by Pete in May 2014. This specific course was not
originally budgeted, but due to the availability of the course and the potential to save
both time and money, we had Pete attend this course.
We will now have and in -house instructor that will be able to conduct mandatory state
required EMS training to our EMT level personnel. Pete Coots has recently finished his
Paramedic program and is energetic and eager to pass along his knowledge to our
staff. We have relied on outside agencies to conduct this training in the past and we'll
be able to save both time and money by having an in -house instructor.
I am respectfully requesting that we accept the funds in the total amount of $1,750.00
from KPEMS for Pete Coots training to the level of EMT Instructor.
Sincerely,
Anthony Prior
Battalion Chief
Kenai Fire Department
