DISCUSSION:
The proposed First Amended Agreement has been carefully reviewed
by he City Manager's and City Attorney's office. It is
ess ntially the same terms and conditions which were adopted on
Feb uary 8, 1979. The only minor changes that have been made in
the agreement were, first of all, the clear stipulation that the
agr ement is undertaken pursuant to the authorization of the State
of alifornia and that the services being provided are essentially
gov rnmental services and, therefore, the contract is not subject
to ederal antitrust laws.
The City has found that the service being provided by the Hartson
Amb lance Service has been highly satisfactory over the past two
yea s and said service has also been acceptable to the County
Eme gency Medical Service Division which has the responsibility
for monitoring paramedic service being provided by their
des'gnated City contractors.
The only other change is to update the revised edition of the San
Di o County Emergency Medical Services Criteria for Mobile
In ensive Care Services to that of November 26, 1979.
