percent of your county's traffic fine surcharge deposits into the state EMS Trust Fund between
January 1 and June 30; 2011. We have submitted a request to our disbursements office for the
full advance payment of the grant funds, and your county should receive the funds within the
next 30 days.
This grant program is authorized and required by section 401.113(2) (a), Florida Statutes. It is
grant program number 64.005 in the Florida Catalog of State Financial Assistance. The grants
are paid from the Department of Health's EMS Trust Fund and there are no federal funds
involved. This grant must improve and expand pre -hospital emergency medical services.
The grant ends April 13, 2012. There is a remaining expenditure and activity report due by
November 1.8, 2011, and the final expenditure and activity report, including documentation of
purchases, is due by May 4, 2012 based on activities and expenditures throughout the grant.
