RESOLUTION of the City of San Leandro City Council to Authorize the City Manager to Execute an Updated Emergency Medical Services First Responder Advanced Life Support Services Agreement with the County of Alameda
Body
WHEREAS, on November 1, 2011, the City of San Leandro (the “City”) and the County of Alameda (the “County”) executed an Emergency Medical Services First Responder Advanced Life Support Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the City to provide, and receive funding for, First Responder Advanced Life Support (“FRALS”) Units and to serve as a designated provider of FRALS Services; and
WHEREAS, on or around May 24, 2016, the City and County executed the First Amendment to the Agreement (the “First Amendment”) in order to extend the term of the Agreement and revise the revenue and support provided to the City for the services provided under the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, on or around November 1, 2017, the City and County executed the Second Amendment to the Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) in order to extend the term of the Agreement, revise the revenue and support provided to the City for the services provided under the Agreement, and transfer ownership of Alameda County Emergency Medical Services Agency equipment to the City at no cost; and
WHEREAS, in June 2018, the City Council authorized a third amendment to the Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which extended its term to June 30, 2019. Subsequent to the adoption of the Second Amendment, the City was notified by the County that the payments from the County for the services provided would no longer be provided beginning in FY2018-19. Those payments were a component of the County’s contract with Paramedics Plus for ambulance services and are no longer applicable, so the City’s baseline budget was adjusted accordingly; and
WHEREAS, the City and the County now desire to mutually enter into an updated Agreement to extend the term of the Agreement from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024, so as to facilitate uninterrupted continuance of FRALS Services to the public; and
WHERAS, the County and the City retain the option to extend this Agreement by mutual consent for up to an additional five (5) years after expiration of the term mentioned above.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does RESOLVE as follows:
1. That the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to enter into the updated Agreement, in substantive form attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and undertake such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out and implement the terms of the Agreement.
