sting of September 5, 1978, staff recommendations on Paramedic Program
~ved. Since that date, a new interjurisdictional Memorandum of Under-
concluded and work is progressing on a Joint Powers Agreement. <
Attached to this agenda statement is a new Agreement with Bay Cities Ambulance, Inc.,
which re laces p evious contractual arrangements with that party and Bay General Community
Hospital In es ence, the ambulance service is assuming all ongoing staffing and equipment
responsi ilities for two (2) Mobile Intensive Care Units which will serve a larger
geograph c area. There will be no direct cost to the City as billing will be made directly
to servi e users As a result, Section 7 of the Agreement provides for a $50 paramedic
charge u der spe ified conditions due to increased costs involved.
The $50 ee is i addition to rates authorized under the City's existing franchise agree-
ment wit the am ulance service. Bay General Community Hospital previously charged
$50 for selected paramedic services so there should be no new citizen reaction to billing
procedu es. How ver, a public hearing can be scheduled in the near future so as to gain
citizen input on this issue.
Finally it shou d be noted that the Agreement's effective date is September 25, 1978.
Necessa y physic 1 and contractual arrangements could not be finalized prior to your
meeting of Septe ber 19, 1978 and the one day lag time was not felt to be significant.
Council approval of this Agreement is recommended.
