City of Austin Council Message Board

On behalf of MPT Pool, I am posting her budget amendment for consideration.

EMS Demand Unit Pilot - Domain entertainment district: $142,000 in one-time funds from overtime

This pilot program would serve the needs of the Domain entertainment district in the North Burnet/Gateway area over the next year, ensuring timely response to the Domain area without drawing EMS resources away from the surrounding communities. Under this program, EMS is able to deploy a weekend Demand Unit during FY25 to gauge whether an additional unit or full Command Unit is needed for response. This FY25 pilot is intended for potential implementation in FY26 based on the results of the pilot.

Thanks all.

Mayor Pro Tem Pool,

I would like to be added as a co-sponsor to your EMS Demand Unit Pilot.

MPT Pool,
Thank you for bringing this pilot forward. It is much needed and addressing increasing demand for ambulances at the Domain is important for reducing response times far beyond that area. I would like to be added as a co-sponsor for your amendment.

Thank you,
Alison Alter
