Two additions to the base rate structure for Paramedic <br />Intercept for Mutual Aid and a Out of Service Area Charge were addressed as well as <br />numerous charges for procedures or medications that are in place due to advances in <br />protocols. Some of these changes are quite expensive and need to be included in our <br />charges. Also in the Ordinance under Section 3 is a sentence allowing changes to the rate <br />structure by the City Manager with notification to the City Council. <br /> <br />The effective date of the ordinance is October 1, 2002. <br /> <br />We request that council approve ordinance for the Rate Structure for EMS charges. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />Approve Ordinance establishing the rate structure for the City of La Porte Emergency Medical <br />Service. <br /> <br />
