SUBJECT: Request for Amendments to Contract with East Contra Costa
Ambulance Service , Inc .
Supervisor S . W. McPeak , brought to the attention of the
Board a letter (dated August 17 , 1984) from Gloria McGrath , President ,
East Contra Costa Ambulance Service , Inc . , (ECCAS ) , referencing cer-
tain conditions in her contract with Contra Costa County with
respect to provision of emergency ambulance transportation services
in Zones 6 , 7, and 8 , representing the eastern section of the County.
Ms . McGrath also referred to a recently adopted ordinance by the
City Council of the City of Antioch which presumes to substitute the
City of Antioch in place of the County as the regulating authority
for emergency ambulance services with the Antioch city limits
(Zone 7) . She commented on the potential impact this would have on
the ability of ECCAS to provide certain paramedic services since the
City of Antioch has selected another ambulance provider to operate
within its boundaries . Ms . McGrath requested the Board to take cer-
tain actions which include amending the existing ECCAS contract to
exclude the requirement for implementation of full paramedic ser-
vices by September 28, 1984.
Following discussion and comments of Board members , IT IS
ORDERED that the concerns as stated by Ms . McGrath are REFERRED to
County Counsel and the County Administrator for review and analysis
of legal , financial , and service implications and consequences
relative to the City of Antioch' s ambulance ordinance and report to
the Board on August 28 , 1984.
