Attachment: Minute Order October 16, 2007 GB:ksh:#1020:10-23-07 ATTACHMENT #4 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 1/7/2008 DEPARTMENT ID DUMBER: FD 08-001 Analysis: FireMed user fees were last reviewed by the City Council during a Public Hearing held on September 5, 2006. At that time, fee revisions were authorized by the City Council to conform to changes approved by the County of Orange Health Care Emergency Medical Services Agency (OCEMSA) and to recover costs for Basic and Advanced Life Support (ALS) services and emergency ambulance transportation. The FireMed Program provides several benefits to the community by funding: • Complete cost of twelve (12) Firefighter Paramedic positions • Free CPR training to all FireMed members • Funding for all Ambulance Program costs • Funding for the Quality Assurance Program • Funding for two Mechanic III positions in the Fire Shop • Funding for a GIS Analyst for emergency incident mapping • Emergency Medical Information Program for better customer care • Funding for the purchase of emergency apparatus and equipment, including paramedic engines and ambulances • Funding for all emergency medical service and transportation supplies and medications • Enhancing the operational readiness of City fire stations through equipment and facility upgrades City Ordinance section 8.68.110 allows revenues derived from the FireMed Program to be used to improve and maintain the City's emergency medical services system. The proposed rate and fee adjustments will maintain response levels and activity in the Fire Department. Revision to FireMed Emergency Medical Services Fee Schedule Resolution 2008 - Ol (Attachment 1) includes the user fee schedule proposed by staff for approval by the City Council. A Notice of Public Hearing (Attachment 2) was published. This schedule represents fees for emergency transport, basic and advanced life support, supplies and medications, additional specialized ALS services, emergency medical assessment and membership rates, effective January 9, 2008. Adjustment to Emergency Transportation Rates To recover operating costs, staff proposes to adjust existing emergency transportion fees to coincide with the OCEMSA ground ambulance service rates adjustment authorized by the County of Orange Board of Supervisors, effective October 16, 2007 (Attachment 3). Current and proposed Huntington Beach Fire Department ambulance rates are compared with the approved Orange County ambulance rates in Table 1 that follows. -2- 12/10/2007 8:44 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 1/7/2008 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 08-001 Analysis (continued) Table 1: Current and Proposed Rates for Ambulance Program Fees TYPE OF CHARGE HBFD OCEMSA HBFD CURRENT Effective10/16/07 PROPOSED Emergency BLS Basic Rate (transportation) $601.50 $640.00 $640.00 Mileage 13.75 14.75 14.75 Oxygen includes mask or cannula 68.25 72.50 72.50 Expendable Medical Supplies (inclusive fee for 26.75 28.50 28.50 various disposable items To determine rate adjustments, OCEMSA used a new methodology for determining emergency ground ambulance rates. The County of Orange Board of Supervisors approved their recommendation, which was to use 150% of the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County "All Items" Consumer Price Index. This year, these rates increased by 5.13% overall. For related support services provided by the City, and for the replacement of franchise fees, FireMed Administration transfers $576,064 from revenue to the General Fund, and the Ambulance Program transfers $181,000, for a total of$714,144 annually. Supplies and Medications For the FireMed User Fee Schedule A for Advanced Life Support Supplies and Medications, staff proposes a 12% decrease of the fees charged for existing supplies. This decrease is a result of reduced purchasing costs in the past year. This year, Orange County Emergency Medical Services Agency added new supplies and medications as a result of new procedures and standards for prehospital emergency medical care. With the inclusion of the supplies and medications needed to comply with county standards, the overall fee schedule increases by 19%. Supplies and medications are priced at actual cost recovery plus administrative processing. Additional Specialized ALS Services Staff proposes increasing the Additional Personnel rate to reflect the increased cost of MOU wages, but maintaining all other Additional Specialized ALS Services at existing rates. These fees recover costs of training and equipment costs for vital diagnostic protocols, such as the 12-Lead EKG Acquisition that provides information to paramedics so that cardiac patients may be transported directly to a cardiac center. Current and proposed rates for Additional Specialized ALS Services are located in Table 2 that follows. Table 2: Current and Proposed Rates for Additional Specialized ALS Services TYPE OF CHARGE CURRENT PROPOSED Defibrillation $ 55.00 $ 55.00 (no change) Advanced Airway 70.00 70.00 (no change) Additional Personnel 57.00 58.00 (increase) 12-Lead EKG Acquisition 100.00 100.00 (no change) -3- 12/10/2007 8:44 AM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING ®ATE: 1/7/2008 DEPARTMENT I® NUMBER: F® 08-001 Analysis (continued) In summary, the new rate schedule permits the City's emergency medical service programs to maintain current levels of service while reducing impacts on the General Fund. Staff recommends the adoption of the revised rate structure contained in the attached resolution. Strategic Plan Goal: C-2 City Services: Provide quality public service with the highest professional standards to meet community expectations and needs, assuring that the city is sufficiently staffed and equipped overall.
