WHEREAS, the Lodi Fire Department (LFD) is pursuing authorization to transition into

an agreement with San Joaquin County Emergency Medical Services Authority, which would
allow LFD to provide ALS services in San Joaquin County; and

Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) to receive funding to send nine individuals to paramedic
