A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO,
CALIFORNIA, RELATED TO
RIVERSIDE COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PLAN
WHEREAS, the provision of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is one of the most
important public safety services provided for citizens through the efforts of local
government; and
WHEREAS, the City and County Governments of Western Riverside County desire to
establish an effective Emergency Medical Services delivery system to provide services
to our citizens; and
WHEREAS, we recognize that such a system can most cost effectively be established
through cooperative efforts of city and county governments seeking the best possible
market position for our citizens; and
WHEREAS, our citizens will be best served through a localized system within the San
Jacinto Valley Area Planning District, and
WHEREAS, an effective EMS system will require identified minimum service standards
and adequate administrative oversight to insure the EMS provider meets those
minimum standards, and
WHEREAS, there should be a cooperative method for the selection of a provider of
EMS services within our Area District.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Riverside and the City of San
Jacinto do hereby agree to enter into a cooperative program for the provision of
Emergency Medical Services within our Area Planning District as defined on the
attached map, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we authorize the City Manager and the Riverside
County Health Director to serve as a negotiating team to enter into negotiations with
Hemet Valley Ambulance Service to seek to develop a satisfactory agreement which
will provide EMS service levels equal to or greater than those established by the draft
EMS standards at a long term price structure competitive with existing market
standards; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we agree to release a Request for Services to the
EMS provider list which has been established through the cooperative program at the
Western Riverside Council of Governments which will meet the minimum standards
established in the draft EMS standards should the negotiations with the existing
provider not result in a satisfactory conclusion by February 1, 1995, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we hereby establish an Administrative Oversight
Committee for the EMS program within our Area District which shall be composed of
the City Manager or their designee of each city, the Chief Administrative Office of
Riverside County or their designee, and the Director of Health for the County of
Riverside or his designee. We further charge this Administrative Committee with the
responsibility to prepare all the agreements to implement the program, to select the
lead contracting agency to provide a point of contact with the selected EMS provider,
and to provide regular administrative oversight and review of the performance of the
selected EMS provider with quarterly reports to the governing bodies of the
participating city and county governments, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the participating jurisdictions named above agree to
cooperate on all matters required for the effective implementation of this EMS program
within our jurisdictions.
