that the proposed contract would generate annual revenue for the City in the amount of
$200,000. He added that staff was recommending that a portion of the revenues over
the next two and a half fiscal years be used to establish an Emergency Medical System
(EMS) Coordinator position as well as fund the final four pieces of fire apparatus from
the Fire Department's approved fire apparatus replacement plan. Chief Pitzer noted
that this project was the culmination of a three and a half year process, and he wanted
to thank American Medical Response (AMR) for their efforts in bringing this program

Council Member Lien stated she was happy to see that staff was recommending
an Emergency Medical System Coordinator position. She noted that the Fire
Department and the Council ad hoc committee formed to study fue issues had agreed
that the escalating number of emergency calls needed to be addressed, and it will take
at least one person who has the required qualifications to accomplish this task.
Council Member Suarez expressed support of the program, stating that the only
thing that would make him happier would be to see a fire station built in the Verdemont
area.
Council Member Lien made a motion, seconded by Council Member Schuetz,
