SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 9: BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
INFORMATIONAL: The City of Antioch is considering the adoption of a local
ambulance ordinance. Consideration by the Antioch City Council is scheduled for
August 14, 1984. 1 have received a letter from the City requesting answers to
the following questions by that time:
1 . Would the County require Antioch to pay the cost of DRCC operations
for ambulance calls relating to Antioch?
2. DRCC staff has raised the issue of whether the County has pre-empted
a local ordinance by adoption of the EMS Agency. The Council would like .t.o know
whether the County feels so strongly about this issue that it would sue the city
on this point if an ordinance is adopted.
