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 (EMS) through a collaborative effort with our contract provider American Medical
Response (AMR) and our 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 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 FY14/15 (July 2014-June 2015) budget provided by the Joint Exercise of
Power Agreement within the RCCP.
