RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WYLIE, TEXAS PROMOTING THE REALIGNMENT AND
REEVALUATION OF THE COUNTY FUNDING ALLOCATION
OF AN AMBULANCE DISTRICT TO SERVE THE SOUTHEAST
QUADRANT OF COLLIN COUNTY
WHEREAS, There is no current designated provider of
emergency medical services for the smaller
municipalities and unincorporated areas in the
Southeast quadrant of Collin County in the area
currently known as the Wylie Ambulance District;
and
WHEREAS, The City of Wylie believes municipalities over
5,000 population located in Collin County should
fund EMS services themselves and receive no county
funding; and
WHEREAS, The City of Wylie believes that municipalities
under 5,000 population and people in
unincorporated areas should receive a county
subsidy on a per capita basis so that adequate
funding of an EMS provider for the Southeast
quadrant could be realized; and
WHEREAS, The City of Wylie believes that current County
emergency medical services subsidy levels are at
insufficient levels and inequitably distributed
for services to be provided in the Southeast area
of the County; and
WHEREAS, The City of Wylie seeks a reevaluation of the
County funding allocation formula so as the funds
may be redistributed on an equitable and fair
allocation basis; and
WHEREAS, There is a critical need for the provision of
emergency medical services for this area of the
County; and
WHEREAS, The Cities of Wylie, Farmersville, Lucas, Royce
City, Murphy, Parker, Josephine, St. Paul, Lavon,
Nevada, Sachse, and Copeville could act together
to form the Southeast Ambulance District so as to
provide a higher level of services for all
residents in this area of the County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1 That the Wylie City Council promotes a realignment
of the existing ambulance district in the
Southeast quadrant of the County in the area known
as the Wylie Ambulance District.
SECTION 2 That the Wylie City Council believes the
realignment of the old Wylie District and a
reevaluation of Collin County's EMS funding
formula should be expeditiously accomplished.
SECTION 3 That the Wylie City Council believes that
municipalities over 5,000 population should self-
fund emergency medical services at the highest
level possible.
SECTION 4 That the Wylie City Council believes that the
funding formula should be on a per capita level of
service and history of EMS calls basis for that
area or some combination thereof so as the formula
would result in a more equitable funding of
services.
