AGENDA ITEM NO. 17
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City authorizing the Mayor to sign the Third
Amendment to the Agreement by and between the City of National City and American Medical
Response Ambulance Service, Inc. to continue to provide basic and advanced life support ambulance
transportation services effective July 1, 2015 for a period of two years. (Fire)

EXPLANATION:
The City's ambulance services contract with American Medical Response Ambulance Services, Inc. (AMR) was last approved
by the City Council on June 20, 2006. AMR, at no direct cost to the City, has been providing basic and advanced life support
ambulance transportation services to the City since October 1, 1983.
AMR pays the City a Franchise Fee on a monthly basis. The amount of such fee is determined solely and at the absolute
discretion of the City. The purpose of the fee is to offset the City's costs for activities associated with providing and maintaining
emergency medical services care programs at an ALS (Advanced Life Support) level and oversight of the ambulance contract.
AMR has the ability to directly bill individuals utilizing their services or bill appropriate third -party insurance carriers. AMR bills
for ambulance service per transport and calls for service during which patient care meets transport and mileage criteria. AMR
may increase fees and/or charges for services provided in order to fully realize revenues sufficient to make up the projected
annual increase in Franchise Fees. Due to new State EMS Authority regulations that transfers control of our Paramedic
Request for Proposal process to the local County EMS authority, the National City Fire Department is seeking a two year
extension of the AMR contract starting July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017. This extension will also increase the Franchise
Fee revenue from our current $308,760 to FY15/16 and FY16/17 to $318,023.

MIS
Agreement is a fee for service with no General Fund revenue subsidy. Increase in Franchise Fee revenue in
FY15/16 and FY16/17 of $318,023 will augment the Paramedic Program accordingly.
