EXPLANATION:
The City has contracted with Heartland Communications Facility Authority (HCFA) for fire and emergency medical dispatch
services since February 7, 1995. When the National City Fire Department (NCFD) first entered into this agreement we were
operational members of the Central Zone, but two years ago there was an operational adjustment and we are now members
in the Metro Zone, which includes San Diego, Chula Vista, Miramar, Coronado, Imperial Beach, San Pasqual, Federal Fire,
and Poway.
The NCFD believes that National City's interests would be best served by entering into an agreement with San Diego to
provide National City's fire and emergency medical dispatch services in the Metro Zone. In order to do that, the City notified
HCFA of its intent to withdraw/terminate fire and emergency medical dispatch services as of June 30, 2013 with Resolution #
2012-248.
The City will owe San Diego an annual dispatching fee for services of $230,124. The City will have savings of approximately
$50,000.
The NCFD would now like the City Council to authorize the Mayor to sign an Agreement between the City of San Diego and
City of National City regarding fire and emergency medical dispatch services. The term of the Agreement will become
effective as of July 1, 2013 for five (5) years until June 30, 2018.
