handle is hein.gao/gaobaagxc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIVISION JUL :i B- 178349 The Honorable Bob Dole United States Senate Dear Senator Dole: Your February 18, 1974, letter requested that we comment on matters raised by Mr. C. F. Allen, concerning the use of revenue sharing funds by Kansas City, Kansas, for a city ambulance program. He contended that the city used its revenue sharing funds for an ambulance program that voters had rejected. To obtain data on the program and to determine whether the city complied with the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 (Revenue Sharing Act) and Department of the Treasury regulations, we reviewed city records, procedures, and ordinances. We also reviewed State laws and discussed the matter with State and city officials and with Mr. Allen. The city's ambulance program, specifically an Emergency Medical Care (EMC) plogram, is envisioned as mobile units with intensive emergency care capabilities to be provided by the city in addition to the regular services of private ambulance companies when inten- sive care is not required. Ambulances operated by the city under the program are required to be specially constructed and equipped to provide life support to patients with life-threatening conditions. But ambulances operated by private companies need be constructed and equipped only to provide safe transportation and reasonable care of persons in less serious condition. The city had authorized spending $250,000 of revenue sharing funds for the EMC program to cover salaries, equipment, and training for the year starting about January 1, 1974. By March 1974, about $44,500 had been spent.
