JoAnne Currie, City Clerk ITEM NO.: 2a MEETING DATE: March 21, 2012 city af-4Jfiafi AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT SUBJECT: COUNCIL WORKSHOP: ALTERNATIVE AMBULANCE SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS Background: At the November 16th, 2011 City Council meeting, staff presented the "Ukiah Fire Department Overview and Service Delivery Options Report". The purpose of the report was to provide the City Council with a series of options to study and discuss, with regard to the delivery of Fire, Advanced Life Support (ALS), and Ambulance services. The discussion of service delivery options for these services is necessary because of the continuing structural imbalance between revenues and expenditures in the City's General Fund, from which Fire, ALS, and Ambulance services are funded. The study is in keeping with the City Council's overall examination of options to assure the sustainability of all services (Police, Fire, Parks, Recreation, Community Development, Public Works, and General Government), funded by the City's General Fund. Options presented to the City Council on November 16, 2011, were based on two key principles: 1. All options under consideration provide an equivalent level of Fire, ALS, and Ambulance service that are currently delivered to Ukiah citizens. 2. The City Council is engaged in setting strategic budget priorities for use of limited General Fund resources. Determining how much of the City's General Fund resources will be devoted to Fire, ALS, and Ambulance services is part of that strategic process. The presentation of the Fire Department Overview and Service Delivery Options Report raised a number of questions. One key question was the delivery of Ambulance and Advanced Life Support Services. As a result of the Council's discussion on November 16, City staff returned to Council at the December 7, 2011 meeting with a follow-up action plan. Council approved the plan that included the following action items: 1. Studying Ambulance Billing Fees: The City Council expressed its interest in updating the Ambulance fee schedule. A study was completed, and a proposed new fee schedule was presented and approved, at the January 4, 2012 Council Meeting. The newly adopted fee schedule will be updated annually. Recommended Action(s): Workshop to assist in exploring possible models for Fire / Ambulance services in the future. Direct Public Safety Ad Hoc to consider items recommended 1-3 in staff report. Alternative Council Option(s): N/A Citizens advised: Requested by: Chris Dewey, Director of Public Safety Prepared by: Chris Dewey, Director of Public Safety Coordinated with: Jane Chambers, City Manager Attachments: Ambulance Workshop Power Point Presentation, Fire Service Delivery Options Chari Approved: t� Ja1 Chambers, City Manager Continued: COUNCIL WORKSHOP: ALTERNATIVE AMBULANCE SERVICE ARRANGEMENTS 2. Continued Exploration of Budgetary Savings: The City Council directed that the Public Safety Ad Hoc Committee (Council members Baldwin and Thomas) continue their examination of the options presented, and of other service delivery models in neighboring cities within our region. 3. Regional Fire Services Fiscal Impact Study: During the last 20 years, many attempts have been made to regionalize fire services in the Ukiah area, by joining the City of Ukiah Fire Department with the Ukiah Valley Fire District and/or other Districts, in some type of cooperative arrangement. As part of both the November 16, 2011 and December 7, 2011 Council discussions, it was noted that none of these attempts included and/or addressed, the long-term fiscal impacts to the City of Ukiah, of a regional fire service. Such a study was particularly important to fully understand the long-term sustainability of any proposed new service model to avoid future disruption of services and/or stranding of tax payer funded assets. Such a study would also provide a foundation of factual information for the City Council's consideration of alternatives. 4. "Analysis of Alternative Fire Service Arrangements" City Council Workshop: Was provided to the City Council on February 15th, 2012. This presentation included a report on fire service overlay/annexation issues, joint powers agreements and contractual service options that are available, and the impacts of these options. Discussion: To continue the study of the Fire Department and the services it provides, staff has prepared the attached presentation titled, "Ambulance Services Study" for this City Council workshop. It was deemed appropriate for the entire City Council to hear the results of this study, in order to advise the Public Safety Ad/Hoc members and staff, as to possible steps for the Ad/Hoc members to continue any further discussion of feasible options. The presentation includes a report on ambulance services, ambulance finances, and possible next steps for the City of Ukiah to consider. Recommendations: 1. Staff will present the report presentation and will be available to answer Council questions. 2. Staff recommends that the financial data presented in this report be made a part of the Public Safety Ad/Hoc committee's factual data resources and be used in its further discussions with regard to all options under consideration as part of the "Ukiah Fire Department Overview and Service Delivery Options Report". 3. The City Council may wish to direct the Public Safety Ad/Hoc members and staff to include; A. Researching alternative non -fire fighter ambulance staffing options, B. Seeking ambulance ALS partnership opportunities, or C. Eliminating ambulance services, as a part of the continuing Ad/Hoc review of service alternatives, within the "Ukiah Fire Department Overview and Service Delivery Options Report". Fiscal Impact: The report as presented contains a number of significant financial impacts for the City of Ukiah to consider with regard to possibilities of consolidation, contract for services, or shared Headquarters unit possibilities. ❑ Budgeted FY 11/12 ❑ New Appropriation ❑X Not Applicable F-1 Budget Amendment Required ATTACHMENT O 4-j Ja ATTACHMENT t� L > '> buo W V > _0 �.
