CityCouncil | 2010-10-05 | 2 | money to the County; direction needs to be given to proceed with finalizing the contract and going through the LAFCO process for joining the EMS District; Alameda is the only City within the County, including unincorporated areas, that is not part of the EMS District; the County is responsible for providing trauma care. Supervisor Lai-Bitker thanked the Mayor and Interim City Manager for spending time to discuss the matter; stated the meeting was very productive and positive; that she hopes the timeframe will be met; she took the liberty to contact LAFCO; there is not enough time for the matter to come before [LAFCO] at the November meeting because an application takes sixty days to file; the next [LAFCO] meeting is January 13, 2011. Mayor Johnson stated precise details were not discussed; staff can bring the matter back for a public hearing if Council is comfortable with giving direction to move forward with the parallel process. Councilmember Gilmore thanked everyone for getting together on the very important issue; moved approval of directing staff to move forward with working on the contract and LAFCO process and come back to Council with an outline of the process, including a timeline of the two tracks. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Tam inquired whether Council would be directing staff to go forward with the annexation and go through the LAFCO process to become part of the EMS District, finalize the contract, and come back with a timeline at the next Council meeting. Councilmember Gilmore clarified that the motion is to direct staff to provide a process outline that includes a timeline; stated that she does not know the steps. Councilmember Tam inquired whether requesting an outline and timeline would assume that the City would be going through the process. Councilmember Gilmore responded that Council would be providing staff direction to go down a path to finalize the contract with the County, provide an outline of the two processes that would need to be completed, and bring the matter back to Council so that Council can see opportunities for public comment and ensure that the City will meet timelines. Councilmember Tam inquired whether meeting the timeline before January 2011 would be likelihood. Mayor Johnson responded the City cannot get on the LAFCO agenda until January; stated the County's deadline for the City can be met.
