Recommendation
That the Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a new First Responder Advanced Life Support (FRALS) Agreement with the County of Alameda, which will be effective through June 30, 2024.
End
SUMMARY
The current FRALS agreement between Alameda County and the City of Hayward is set to expire June 30, 2019. The agreement took effect November 1, 2011. The County has proposed a new agreement, to take effect July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024. The proposed new agreement is effectively similar to the current amended agreement, except that it removes all financial penalties for FRALS agencies. The removal of penalties reflects that FRALS agencies are no longer compensated for their services through FRALS payments, a change that occurred in Summer 2018.
