<br />3 <br /> <br />Presently in San Marcos two Minor Emergency Centers are <br /> <br />servicing the community. <br /> <br />Also Hays County Memorial Hospital <br /> <br />is not financially capable to support or compete with such a <br /> <br />center. <br /> <br />In our research of a depot outside of city limits, the <br /> <br />railroad is unwilling to make any changes. <br /> <br />The railroad told <br /> <br />us to gain support and then contact them at a later date. <br /> <br />Our research of the helicopter showed that cost and <br /> <br />labor would equal approximately $750,000 to $1 million. <br /> <br />The <br /> <br />Life Flight budget for one year is over $2 million dollars <br /> <br />with approximately 300 flights per year. <br /> <br />Briefly to restate the preliminary proposal we believe <br /> <br />that a helicopter could be jointly utilized and funded by <br /> <br />the emergency groups that would profit from the helicopter. <br />It is a project that would not have delays; it is an immediate <br /> <br />solution for a serious problem. <br /> <br />We hope to gain support from <br /> <br />community groups, the above services and the public. <br /> <br />We propose this solution to help the community and the <br /> <br />city council realize the local problem and the need for <br /> <br />local support and resources in solving this problem. <br />
