Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Shawn Shelton, Fire Chief – Fire Department SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. 3 AND A THREE MONTH EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO AND AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONSE OF COLORADO, INC. CONCERNING EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES SUMMARY: The attached resolution authorizes the City to extend the emergency medical services agreement with American Medical Response of Colorado, Inc. (AMR) for an additional one month term from July 31, 2017 through October 31, 2017. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2. BACKGROUND: This resolution is for a three month extension of an existing agreement between the City of Pueblo and American Medical Response of Colorado, Inc (AMR) on the same terms stated in the Agreement. The City though its Fire Department, provides emergency patient care services to our community without charge. When a patient is in need of transport to a hospital their care is transferred to AMR and AMR is allowed to bill for their services. In certain cases, Fire Department members assist AMR in the transport of patients to the hospital and this service is reimbursable. This contract addresses the rate of reimbursement that is due to the City from AMR. The contract also addresses response time criteria. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable. ALTERNATIVES: no The alternative is to take action and allow the contract to expire. AMR would still maintain their licensing to transport patients but would no longer be required to reimburse the City. This would have a negative impact on the City budget of $8,020.00 per month. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution. Attachments: Addendum No. 3 ADDENDUM NO. 3.
