This document has been signed and reviewed by the City Attor- ney. I am providing the original Agreement for the county`s review and approval.

Br. own, C:ty Manager 800 JUNCTION HIGHWAY • KERRVILLE, TEXAS 78028-5069 • 512/257-8000 EMS INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE WHEREAS, the State of Texas, in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, has provided in Section 791.011 of the Government Code of the State of Texas (hereinafter called the "Government Code"), that this local government (hereinafter called this "Jurisdiction") may contract or agree with other local governments to perform governmental functions and services for the public health and welfare, and such functions and services include the purchase and provision of ambulance services; and WHEREAS, it is in the beat interests of the public health and welfare of the people of this Jurisdiction to have available to them a state-of-the-art, high performance, high quality, pre- hospital emergency medical system, with stringent medical controls and accountability, and adequate response times; and WHEREAS, due to the relatively low population and low population density of some portions of the geographic area in Kerr County, Texas, and the extremely high start-up and fixed operating coats of a state-of-the-art emergency medical system, it is necessary, to the extent allowed by law, to award a single provider the right to engage in ambulance operations within this Jurisdiction, in order to maximize economies of scale for providing such emergency medical services. THEREFORE, be it resolved that this Jurisdiction hereby agrees to join with all other jurisdictions which adopt this Interlocal Cooperative Agreement, and this Jurisdiction agrees as follows: 1. Definitions. (a) Administrator means the City of Kerrville, who is responsible for furnishing staff and clerical services to the Agency and/or the Medical Director and performing the other duties and responsibilities herein provided. (b) Patient means any person being transported to or from a health care facility in a reclining position. (c) Contractor means that firm/entity which is currently under contract with the Agency to provide ambulance services throughout the member jurisdic- tions. (d) Contract Service Area means the geographic area encompassing the Service Area and the remainder of Rerr County. (e) Coatract means that ambulance service contract between the Agency and the Contractor. (f) Medical Director means that physician appointed by the Administrator. (g) Service Area means the combined corporate limits of all member jurisdictions which adopt the Uniform EMS Ordinance. (h) Subsidy/Price Agreement means a one-year contract ancillary to, but separate from, the Contract; except that the initial Subsidy/Price Agreement shall be for the period of January 1, 1993 to September 30, 1993 and subsequent Subsidy/Price Agreements shall be on the fiscal year basis of October 1 to September 30 of the following year. Such Subsidy/Price Agreement shall operate between a member jurisdiction and the Contractor, and shall specify that jurisdiction's annual selection from the then-current Uniform Schedule of Subsidy/Price Options. At the option of each jurisdiction, the Subsidy/Price Agreement may include or omit subsidized reductions of user-fees applicable to patient transports originating within that jurisdiction. (i) Uniform Schedule of Subsidy/Price Options means the initially established and annually revised listing of per-capita subsidy and user-fee combinations then-currently approved by the Agency, as provided for in the Contract. To avoid cross-jurisdictional subsidization of costs serving patients in more remote jurisdictions (i.e., where patient transport times and mileage are extended) by way of excessive fee structures charged in less remote jurisdictions (i.e., where patient transport time and mileage are reduced), mileage charges shall be excluded from subsidy/price calculations, and shall be uniform throughout the Contract Service Area. Thus, subsidy payments shall be applied entirely to reduce the total base rate and add-on charges excluding mileage, but shall not affect the system- wide charge per loaded mile or subscription membership fees. (j) Uaiform EMS Ordinaace means that ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein for all purposes. -2- 2. Creation of Agency and Election For Membership. There is hereby created an administrative agency, pursuant to Section 791.013 of the Government Code, called the Rerr Emergency Medical Services Agency (hereinafter called the "Agency"). The Agency shall have all of the powers and duties set forth and described in Paragraph 7 below. This Jurisdiction elects to become a member of the Agency, by the adoption of this Agreement, and (except for the County of Kerr) by the adoption concurrently of the Uniform EMS Ordinance (Exhibit A). 3. Agencv Term and Membership Withdrawal. The Agency's term of existence and provisions for withdrawal from membership in the Agency shall be as follows: (a) The existence of the Agency shall continue so long as the City of Kerrville and at least one other jurisdiction remain as members of the Agency. (b) The dates of this Jurisdiction's right to withdraw shall coincide with the termination date(s) of the Contract awarded from time to time by the Agency (subject to approval and ratification by the City of Kerrville as herein provided) for ambulance services with its Contractor, and the expiration dates of all earned extensions thereof. This Jurisdiction's right to withdraw shall be effective on the termination date of the Contract, or the last date of any earned extension thereof. The termination date of the Contract and any earned extension shall be September 30 to coincide with the fiscal year end of each jurisdiction. (c) As a condition precedent to withdrawal under 3(b) above, notice to withdraw shall be given in writing to the Agency, and to each member jurisdiction thereof, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the termination date of the Contract or any earned extension thereof.

Agencv Powers and Duties. The Agency shall have all of the powers allowed or provided by Chapter 791 of the Government Code, known as the "Interlocal Cooperation Act", subject to the limitations contained herein. The Agency shall have the following duties and powers: (a) To set response time standards for selection by each member jurisdiction. -8- (b) To group purchase (as provided herein with approval by the City of Kerrville) for each member jurisdiction advanced life support ambulance service, such service to comply with all applicable state laws and rules, as well as all rules, regulations, and clinical standards as the Medical Director may from time to time promulgate. (c) To group purchase (as provided herein with approval by the City of Kerrville) ambulance service under a master contract by either the competitive award of a contract by way of a request for proposal process or by direct negotiation with a contract provider. The contract awarded to the contractor (i) shall require the contractor to provide ambulance services in each member jurisdiction and (ii) shall require medical oversight through the Medical Director and (iii) with respect to calls originating in the 995 telephone exchange in eastern Kerr County, shall require the contractor to coordinate with the Kendall County EMS for the provision of emergency medical services by the entity (either the EMS contractor or the Rendall County EMS) best able to respond promptly and to provide the necessary services. (d) On or before January 30 of each year, commencing January 30, 1994, the EMS Agency Board shall provide an annual written report evaluating the Contractor's clinical and response time performance during the previous Contract year. In preparing this annual evaluation, each member of the EMS Agency Board shall rate the Contractor's clinical reliability and response time performance. The signed and dated individual rating sheets of each EMS Agency Board member shall be collected by the Administrator, distributed to all member jurisdictions, and kept on file by the Administrator, and shall be public documents. The performance evaluation for the previous Contract year shall be the basis for Contractor's eligibility for a one-year extension to the Contract, to be added to the then-remaining term of the Contract, subject in all respects to approval by the City of Kerrville as hereinafter provided. In no event will be City of Kerrville be obligated to grant any such extension. -9- (e) Subject in all respects to approval by the City of Kerrville as hereinafter provided, the Agency shall determine (1) the initial term of any such contract (not to exceed five (5) years), (2) whether the Contractor is entitled by satisfactory performance to any earned extension(s) of the contract, (3) whether an event of default has occurred under the contract and to authorize action with respect to that default, (4) whether new or additional equipment needs to be obtained by the Contractor and the means of payment (subject to approval by each member of the Agency if such equipment would result in any cost to a member or affect the Uniform Schedule of Price/Subsidy Options), (5) the Uniform Schedule of Price/Subsidy Options under the Contract and any adjustments thereto and (6) the response time standards for selection by each member of the Agency. Unless a member elects to subsidize, the contract will provide the same base rates and add-on charges for each Jurisdiction. (f) Oversee and document any adjustments provided in the Contract with respect to the Uniform Schedule of Subsidy/Price Options, the authorized uniform charge per loaded mile, and the uniform subscription membership fee. (g) Annually verify and report to each member jurisdiction the Contractor's per capita annual subsidy and ambulance bills, or averages thereof (exclusive of mileage charges) related to patient transports originating within each member jurisdiction. The Agency shall also annually verify and report the Contractor's mileage charge and membership subscription fee throughout the entire Contract Service Area. (h) To prepare and distribute, not later than July 1 of each year commencing July 1, 1993, to each member jurisdiction a schedule of price/subsidy options, called the Uniform Schedule of Price/Subsidy Options, which shall range from zero-level subsidy with full cost user-fees, to zero-level user fees with full-cost annual per capita subsidies. (i) The Agency shall require its Contractor to implement and maintain an ambulance service subscription program unless otherwise prohibited by law. That program shall be a contract which allows -10- a resident, and members of the resident's household, of any member jurisdiction to annually purchase and prepay all uninsured portions of medically necessary ambulance service. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 7 to the contrary, in no event will the Agency be authorized to create any debt or pecuniary obligation on any Jurisdiction or otherwise take any action without approval of each member jurisdiction if such action would result in any increased cost to a member or affect the Uniform Schedule of Price/Subsidy Options (except for adjustments permitted by the Contract). 8. Member Withdrawal. In the event any member jurisdiction experiences repeated and chronic failure of the Agency, or the Agency's Contractor, to comply with the response time standards established for that member jurisdiction, and after written notice to the Agency and reasonable opportunity to correct such deficiencies, that member jurisdiction may withdraw subject to the following terms: (A) The member jurisdiction must give written notice to the Agency that the member intends to invoke this section of this Agreement; (B) Upon a continued failure for the following three full months after receipt by the Agency of the written notice described in (A) above, the member jurisdiction may withdraw as a member, by giving written notice to the Agency, to be effective ten (10) days after receipt of such notice by the Agency. (C) Upon the effective date of the withdrawal, the Agency shall cease ambulance service to the former member jurisdiction; provided that such withdrawal shall not affect such member's right to contract with the Contractor or any other party for ambulance services. 9. No Service To Others. The Agency is not authorized to furnish service to any area which is not a member of the Agency, except for service pursuant to a mutual aid agreement approved by the Agency and the Administrator, or emergency coverage of nonmember jurisdictions not to exceed sixty (60) days in duration, also subject to approval by the Administrator. The foregoing does not preclude service to the City of Ingram, as a part of Rerr -11- County, even if the City of Ingram does not become a member. 10. City Approval. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Contractor and any Contract for ambulance services entered into by the Agency and any modification or extension thereof shall be subject to prior approval by the City Council of the City of Kerrville, pursuant to Section 791.025 of the Government Code. The Agency shall submit the proposed contract and any modification or extension to the City Council of the City of Kerrville for its approval. Once approved by the City Council of the City of Kerrville the Agency then may proceed to execute and deliver such contract, modification or extension. 11. Medical Director Compensation and Administrative Expenses. The parties hereto recognize that at this time there exist legal uncertainties regarding the application of medicare "anti-kickback" regulations not allowing compensation to the Medical Director or payment of administrative expenses to be funded from user fees. Therefore, the City of Kerrville and the County of Rerr agree that they will share equally the cost of compensation for the services of the Medical Director and administrative expenses of the Administrator during the 1992-93 fiscal year of each such entity, subject to approval of such compensation and expenses by each such entity and inclusion of such amount in the 1992-93 budget of each such entity, or in amendments to such budget. Such agreed amount(s) shall be payable to the EMS Administrative Fund to be established and administered by the City of Kerrville. The County of Kerr's proportionate share of said agreed costs shall be paid monthly to the EMS Administrative Fund upon receipt of a bill from the City of Kerrville seeking reimbursement for fifty percent (508) of actual costs for Medical Director compensation and administrative expenses. Should the City of Ingram become a member, no requirement shall be made that the City of Ingram pay any portion of such costs. However, should the City of Ingram decide to do so, such contribution shall reduce prorata the payments required of the City of Kerrville and the County of Kerr. Any future commitments of the City of Kerrville or the County of Kerr to pay Medical Director compensation and administrative expenses shall be on a fiscal year basis, -12- and subject to approval by each entity and inclusion of such in the budget process, payable out of current revenues; provided, however, that until such time as Medical Director compensation and administrative expenses can be funded from user fees, each such entity agrees to exercise good faith efforts to include the same in each party's budget process and to fund the same, subject in all respects to the approval of any such budget or amendment thereof and to the availability of funds therefor. 12. Uniform Subsidy/Price Options. Each member jurisdiction shall have the right to select its own subsidy/price combination from the "Uniform Schedule of Subsidy/Price Options" developed and periodically updated from time-to- time by the Agency, by execution and delivery of a Subsidy/Price Agreement with the Contractor. 13. No Ambulance Deployment Restrictions. Each member jurisdiction shall have access to every resource of the entire EMS system, as dictated by fluctuations in consumer demand for service, weather conditions, and disaster events. That is, the Agency shall prohibit the Contractor from contractually committing any of its ambulances to the exclusive benefit of any jurisdiction (except for short-term special events coverage contracts). 14. Treatment of Subsidy by County of Kerr. The subsidy, if any, of the County of Kerr may be applied, at the option of the County of Kerr, to either reduce user-fees or to increase response time reliability throughout the entire Contract Service Area. 15. Payments. Any payments by member jurisdictions pursuant hereto shall be made only from current revenues available to the paying jurisdictions, as required by the Interlocal Cooperation Act. 16. Local Law. As permitted by Section 791.012 of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, the member jurisdictions agree to application of the local law of the City of Kerrville. 17. Miscellaneous. (a) The parties hereto may not assign this Agreement. Additionally, any oral representations or modifications concerning this Agreement shall be of -13- no force or effect, excepting a subsequent modifioation in writing signed by each party and expressly authorized by the governing body of each party. (b) This document (with the attached Exhibit "A" for members other than the County of Kerr) contains the entire Agreement of the parties. Any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations not expressly contained in this Agreement are of no force and effect. (c) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision(s) had never been contained herein.
