Tentative agreements had been reached with all parties, except with the National City Firefighters' Association. Additional time was needed to address the issues related to the Labor Agreement so the Ambulance Services Agreement was extended to a six (6) month period beginning October 1, 1999 and expiring March 31, 2000. The labor issues have not been resolved, but discussions are continuing. CURRENT STATUS OF THE AMBULANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT: American Medical Response (AMR) has requested that the current Contract be extended for a six (6) month period to allow them time to re-evaluate the proposed agreement that was tentatively agreed upon in July 1999. This is a reasonable request and could benefit both parties.
