Explanation (Expenditure and/or Revenue)

Further explanation as needed:

The Maddy EMS Fund has a discretionary portion which has historically supported the efforts of the local EMS Agency. These funds will continue to be utilized on a transitional basis until the Yolo County EMS Agency (YEMSA) is fully operational. Once licensing and franchise fee revenues begin, these expenditures transition away from the Maddy Fund discretionary account. All of the EMS Agency expenditures supported by the Maddy Fund discretionary account have zero impact on other Maddy Fund accounts such as funds available for physician and hospital trauma claims.
