Councilmember Zahilay announced the following:

"I’d like to add these comments about the EMS levy as part of the record for today’s

Council meeting:

When you or a loved one calls 9-1-1 in a medical emergency, you expect and deserve

immediate, expert care. The Medic One/EMS system delivers exactly that, saving lives

every day across King County. This levy isn’t just about funding ambulances; it’s about

ensuring that no matter where you are or what time it is, help is on the way. I believe

it’s vital that voters have the opportunity to renew their support for this world-class

emergency response system.”

Councilmember Dembowski announced the following:

"King County leads the world with our Medic One program. I'm proud to cosponsor this

legislation to make sure we continue our leading role in emergency medical response. I

thank our first responders for their dedication, professionalism, and service to our

county, and am honored to support legislation that ensures we deliver the resources

they need to continue saving lives."
