Councilmember Tam stated Alameda's paramedics have a lot to be proud of in terms of response times; requested that the Interim City Manager advise what are the next steps on the annexation and assessment process. The Interim City Manager stated a Closed Session has been scheduled to discuss the issues; a draft contract has been finalized from a business standpoint; the legal parts are now being reviewed; assuming Council approval, the goal would be to move expeditiously in order to place the matter on the tax rolls in August for the subsequent year. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the process is to get a contract finalized, assuming that there will be a Closed Session on November 16th; the October 19, 2010 minutes reflect that questions were raised on the amount of cost associated with the use of the trauma center and $140,000 first responder credit. The Interim City Manager stated the $857,000 is the annual assessment for the City's overhead share of the EMS agency and its proportionate share of the trauma centers; the County committed to taking the credit for first responder engines and applying the amount to the past, accrued deficit. Mayor Johnson stated the County is applying the credit to the arrears. Councilmember Tam stated the deal is great.
