Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a five-year agreement with Dane County Emergency Management to compensate the Madison Fire Department (MFD) for servicing the medication and supply vending machines at local hospitals. The machines are owned by the County but MFD has managed the ordering of medications and supplies, stocking inventory, and servicing the machines for the County since May 2021. Dane County Emergency Management pays for the medication and supply orders and MFD reimburses the County for the cost of medications and supplies that MFD uses from the vending machines. Funding for the supplies used by MFD is included in MFD’s Adopted Operating Budget. Under the terms of the agreement, the County will pay the City annually, with an increase of 5% each year to compensate for MFD staff time for ordering medications and supplies, stocking inventory, and servicing the machines. The County will pay $18,233 in 2026; $19,144 in 2027; $20,101 in 2028; $21,107 in 2029; and $22,162 in 2030. Payments for years 2027 through 2030 will be requested in future MFD operating budget requests. No additional appropriation is required.
