Background/Discussion: City Council approved a cost -share agreement with Washington County for the initial phase of the evaluation and study of emergency ambulance services Washington County contracted with Health Care Visions to provide these services and to develop a series of recommendations for the emergency ambulance service delivery that would address the long-term needs of both the City of Fayetteville and Washington County. The consultant presented their findings and recommendations in October 2005. Numerous meetings have been conducted between representatives of Washington County, private non -emergency ambulance companies and cities in Washington County subsequent to the publication of the consultant findings and recommendations in October 2005. Washington County incurred approximately $62,000 in cost for 2005. If Fayetteville shared the entire cost with Washington County City Council will need to authorize an additional $10,012.21 for the remaining expenses from 2005. The remaining $39,000 plus could be utilized for additional expenditures in 2006. Washington County is requesting Fayetteville continue to cost -share as the County and City continue to evaluate the recommendations made in Phase 1. Fayetteville utilized $21,000 of $50,000 appropriated for this purpose in 2005 and has an additional $50,000 appropriated for 2006. Budget Impact: The City budgeted $300,000 for emergency medical/ambulance services for 2006. This appropriation was planned for the annual contract with CEMS and to further the implementation recommendations made in 2005 or fund additional evaluations. RESOLUTION NO.

The first action taken was the employment of Health Care Visions as the consultant of record to evaluate our current system and to make recommendations for improvement to the system. That study was completed in September, 2005. Subsequent to the receipt of the report, we have continued conversations with your city council and based on advice from the county attorney, we have decided that the public interest will be best protected by the use of a bid process to ensure that we have secured the best possible provider. During this period, we have had considerable discussions, which are still ongoing, relative to the feasibility of using a single provider to furnish all emergency and non -emergency service. I have recently been informed that the city council limited the use of the $50,000 to the payment of their portion of the cost of the consultant study. As you will note from the attachment listing costs to date, we have used Health Care Visions for some Phase II work and have used Mr. Hugh Earnest as a facilitator for our efforts. • My purpose for this letter is simply to request that the councilrelease the remainder of the $50,000 originally appropriated in the 2005 budget. I regret the confusion over this issue, but I do believe that with some continued work over the next several months we will be successful in identifying and selecting a company to provide this much needed public safety function. Thanks in advance for you assistance in this matter. Sincerely, � Hdnton County Judge Telephone: 479 / 444-1700 • FAX: 479 / 444-1889 Clarice Pearman - Res. 93-06 _ Patti From: Clarice Pearman To: Davis, Steve Date: 5.19.06 4:52PM Subject: Res. 93-06 Steve, Attached is a copy of the resolution passed by City Council, May 16, 2006 regarding the Washington County cost share payment.
