ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The Lewisville Fire Department has provided emergency ambulance service to unincorporated areas of Denton County through an interlocal cooperation agreement for many years and is approved annually for the period of October 1 through September 30. The Ambulance Service Agreement provides for Denton County to pay an estimated fee based on a funding formula as follows: 1) a population-based readiness sum based on per capita; 2) a designated sum per ambulance run; and 3) a fixed sum based on the area covered. In FY 2018-2019, Denton County will pay a fixed provider fee of $57,425, plus $255.59 per ambulance run billed by the Lewisville Fire Department. The City will continue to bill the patients and their insurance companies in lieu of Denton County’s $255.59 per run.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
