SPECIAL PRESENTATION
2020 - 2025 Medic One/EMS Levy: EMS Division Director for King County Michele Plorde
provided a brief presentation on the 2020 - 2025 Medic One/EMS Levy planning process. Ms.
Plorde reported that because the King County Medic One/EMS system is primarily funded by
a countywide voter -approved EMS levy. The current levy will expire on December 31, 2019,
therefore the EMS Division of King County Public Health is currently working to develop a
Strategic Plan and financing plan (levy) for King County voters to renew in 2019 so as to
ensure the integrity of the regional, tiered EMS system. In conclusion, Ms. Plorde stated that
the Levy must be approved by the King County Council as well as cities with over 50,000
residents (11 cities in King County) in order for it to be passed.
