EXPLANATION:
On May 15, 2012, National City signed a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement within the Regional
Cooperative Care Program (RCCP) that consolidated and shared administrative, training and oversight
services related to the provision of pre -hospital emergency medical services. The delivery of
emergency medical services through a collaborative effort with our contract provider American Medical
Response (AMR) and member fire agencies (Alpine, Bonita Sunnyside, East County, Imperial Beach,
Lemon Grove, La Mesa, National City, and San Miguel) have been greatly enhanced with RCCP.
RCCP improves the quality of patient care through the standardization of high quality training and
establishment of unified quality assurance and improvement programs. The delivery of these services
requires an annual budget to be created and approved by member agencies. Staff recommends
accepting and approving the FY13/14 (July 2013-June 2014) budget provided by the Joint Exercise of
Power Agreement within the RCCP.
