(AMR) was 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 programs associated with emergency medical services care at an ALS-level (Advanced Life Support) 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, calls for service during which patient care meets transport criteria and mileage. 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 changes adopted by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority, local control of the EMS RFP process has been transferred to County EMS. Currently, County EMS is not prepared to conduct an EMS RFP; therefore, the National City Fire Department is seeking a two year extension of the AMR contract starting July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019. This extension will maintain the Franchise Fee revenue in FY17/18 and FY18/19 at $318,023.
