FROM: Phil Batchelor, Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: August 23, 1984 County
SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO LETTER FROM PRESIDENT, EAST CONTRA COSTA
AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize acting Health Services Department to execute
on behalf of the County amendment to contract with East Contra
Costa Ambulance Service, Inc. to eliminate required implementation
of paramedic services originally scheduled for September 28, 1984,
pending renegotiation of contract which expires October 28, 1984.
BACKGROUND:
On August 21, 1984, the Board received and referred to County Counsel
and County Administrator a letter from Gloria Mc Grath, President,
East Contra Costa Ambulance Service, Inc. Among several points made
by Mrs. Mc Grath is the fact that East Contra Costa Ambulance Services'
contract requires implementation of full paramedic services by
September 28, 1984. This is impractical in view of the action taken
by the City of Antioch to adopt their own ambulance ordinance since
it is unclear who will be providing ambulance service in the City of
Antioch after October 28, 1984 and it is unfair to expect East Contra
Costa Ambulance to hire paramedics who may have to be laid off 30 days
later.
