The attached 2011 -12 agreement is calculated at a rate of $26.86 per employee, per year. This is an increase of $4.10 per employee over the previous period's negotiated rate mostly due to the cost of adding a third ambulance. The total agreement amount invoiced will be based on an Average Daily Population at each company. 2009 -10 Revenues— Actual $59,914.00 / Calls-39 2010 -11 Revenues— Actual $66,481.96 / Calls-47 2011 -12 Revenues —Projected $70,000.00 Attached is an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute individual agreements effective October 1, 2011 with the companies located within the Battleground Industrial District for Emergency Medical Service.
