RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Termination for Convenience with Escambia County (Alabama) Healthcare Authority - Michael D. Weaver, Public Safety Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the Termination for Convenience notification from Escambia County (Alabama) Healthcare Authority:

A. Approve the Termination for Convenience; and

B. Authorize a waiver of the 30-day notification and make it effective May 14, 2018. Written notification was received from the Escambia County (Alabama) Healthcare Authority on May 1, 2018, stating they had obtained an EMS provider that would begin service to their area on May 14, 2018.

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County has provided Emergency Medical Services for Flomaton, Alabama for over 35 years. This has been done through an interlocal agreement with the Escambia County (AL) Health Care Authority. The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners approved a 3-year term on November 05, 2015.

Through the budgeting process the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners approved additional EMS personnel to begin servicing the Walnut Hill communities. This approval also included a request for Flomaton to begin researching other options for an EMS provider due to our increased service needs within our county.

We received written notification from the Escambia County (AL) Healthcare Authority on May 1, 2018 stating they had obtained an EMS provider that would begin service to their area on May 14, 2018. The agreement includes a clause allowing for either party to exercise its right of termination for convenience. This termination is effective thirty (30) days following the receipt of notification.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

The termination of agreement for services provided in the Flomaton, AL would reduce revenue in Fund 408, Emergency Medical Services by $96,474.12.
