FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment/Extension Agreement is funded 100% CSA EM-1 (Measure H) reflects an increase of $678,375. (No rate increase).

BACKGROUND:

County Service Area EM-1 was established in 1989 to provide enhanced Emergency Medical Services, including rapid paramedic-staffed ambulance response, to the residents of Contra Costa County. On May 14, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Measure H Zone B population-based fire allocations for the East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to partially subsidize pre-hospital emergency medical first responder services.

On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #23-549-1 with East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to provide First Responder and Emergency Medical services, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, including mutual indemnification.

Approval of Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-549-2 will allow the Contractor to provide additional Fire First Responder emergency medical services through June 30, 2019, including mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Amendment is not approved, County will not be able to receive pre-hospital emergency medical first responder services, within the East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, until patient care is assumed by County’s emergency ambulance contractor.
