During its last several meetings, the EMSAC reached <br /> consensus on recommended modifications to the operating guidelines <br /> that were established when the Council was reconstituted in 1989. The <br /> most significant changes include: 1) addition of a subparagraph to the <br /> "PURPOSE" section that charges the EMSAC with supporting, evaluating, <br /> and developing recommendations pertaining to the continuation of the <br /> EMS strategic planning process; and 2) a specific set of EMSAC <br /> membership positions, including citizens and EMS system practitioners, <br /> that provides for broader representation on the Council. <br /> Copies of the 1989 Operating Guidelines and the proposed, updated <br /> Operating Guidelines, are attached. If the Board endorses the updated <br /> guidelines, to include the proposed membership, appointments to the <br /> EMSAC would be brought back for consideration by the Board at a future <br /> Commissioners ' meeting. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board endorse the <br /> updated EMS Advisory Council Operating Guidelines. <br />
