Amendment to the Emergency Services Operating Agreement Between the City of Redmond and King County Fire Protection District 34 for EMS Transport Billing Services
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond provides, under contract, emergency fire suppression, rescue, prevention, emergency management, and emergency medical response services to the citizens of King County Fire Protection District 34 (KCFPD34). The two agencies have enjoyed a shared services agreement for over 77 years. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2027, but KCFPD34 desires to amend the current contract to allow the Redmond Fire Department to provide EMS Transport Billing services during the remainer of the existing agreement.
Key provisions of the amendment:
1. KCFD34 will be sharing costs of billing services with the City, which is a cost savings for both entities.
2. KCFPD34 rules for billing will match that of the City of Redmond, making service delivery standardized across KCFPD34, Redmond, Bellevue, and Kirkland.
3. EMS Transports that originate from KCFPD34, when the funds are collected, will be credited to KCFPD34 every six months during the normal invoicing process. This has no fiscal impact to the City but benefits KCFPD34.
