 That pursuant to the provisions of 1973 C.R.S. 25-3.5-301, as amended, no entity may provide ambulance service publicly or privately in this state after January 1, 1978 unless that person holds a valid license to do so issued by the Board of County Commissioners of the County in which the ambulance service is based.

             WHEREAS, both parties are willing to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement to define their respective rights, duties and obligations of both parties, one to the other, as the same concerns the operation of an ambulance/EMT service, and

             WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. 29-1-201, et. seq., it specifically allows any government including but not limited to counties and county hospitals to enter into intergovernmental agreements to cooperate or contract with one another to provide any function, service or facility lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contracting units,

2.         As part of the consideration extended by County to Hospital, County agrees to allow Hospital to fuel these ambulances from the County shop pumps with the understanding that the Hospital shall reimburse County on a monthly basis at County’s costs for said fuel.  Further, County, at no expense to Hospital shall service the ambulances for normal and routine maintenance with the understanding that the Hospital shall reimburse County for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred for parts and supplies including oil, filters, tires and the like to be billed to Hospital on a monthly basis at the County cost.  Except for emergency repairs that would render the ambulance unsafe, the request by Hospital for the performance of minor maintenance will not take priority over other county projects but County shall perform said minor maintenance in a reasonable period of time.

 

3.         Further, the Hospital shall hire a qualified director to bring the ambulance/EMT service up to standards as required by the State of Colorado.  The County shall further assist Hospital in obtaining grant monies to operate such services or to procure ambulances.

a.         The first part of funding shall consist of the monies received from the County Hospital Fund created for both Hospital and ambulance/EMT services, which both parties agree for the year 2011 to budget the sum of One Hundred Sixty two thousand and ninety dollars ($162,090). As long as this agreement is in effect, this provision shall replace the funding requirement within the existing Hospital Service Agreement between the County and the Hospital and supersede any other pre-existing agreements involving ambulance and/or EMT services.  If this agreement is terminated then the funding provisions of the original Hospital Service Agreement will remain in effect.

 

b.         The second part of the ambulance/EMT service funding shall consist of all EMS subsidy fund monies received which amount both parties anticipate shall approximate the sum of Eleven Thousand and ten Dollars ($15,000.00).  These monies shall be spent in accordance to the provisions and terms of the fund.

 

c.         Both parties further agree to re-evaluate aforementioned manner of funding in the event there is a material change in assessed valuation or the EMS subsidy grant or profit and/or loss of operating the Ambulance/EMT Service. 

 

d.         County shall remit the above funds as they become available and requested by the Hospital throughout the year to sustain the operation and maintenance of the ambulance/EMT service but in no event shall County be responsible for remitting additional sums to Hospital in excess of those monies actually generated by the County through levy, grant, fund balance or otherwise.  

 

6.         At such time that the Hospital assumes full operation of the Ambulance/EMS service the Hospital shall furnish all drivers, EMTs and physicians necessary to properly and adequately operate said ambulance/EMT service within the County of Kiowa, State of Colorado and shall bear all expenses involved in training and maintaining said personnel.  Further, County Hospital shall provide workers’ compensation and liability insurance covering the EMTs and drivers as well as the operation of the ambulance/EMT services.

 

7.         Hospital further agrees to comply with all federal, state and local laws, statutes,

rules, and resolutions involved in operations of an ambulance/EMT service.

 

8.         Hospital shall furnish to County annual financial reports prepared according to generally accepted accounting procedures.
