Councilmember Matarrese stated the annual amount for participating in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) District is $857,831; the City has settled the dispute with the County which has been going on for over five years; that he wanted to form a liaison committee between the City and Alameda Hospital because a good portion of fire calls are medical calls; the relationship could result in some mutual savings between the City and Hospital District and could avoid some of the disconnect in protocol. Vice Mayor deHaan requested clarification of the financial impact. The Interim City Manager stated Council gave direction to bring a timeline forward for the two-fold process to annex into the EMS District and move forward with the Proposition 218 vote; in order to meet the deadline this year and comply with the County's letter, $857,000 would need to be appropriated from the General Fund cash balance; in the future, the hope is to have the money come from a parcel fee; the annual fee would be $26.43 for a single residential home; $63.00 for a two to five residential unit; $132.00 for a hotel; $185 for a shopping center; and $395.00 for a large multi-family residential building; the hope is to have fees on the tax roll next year; the matter would come back to Council on January 4th Vice Mayor deHaan stated Alameda Hospital is moving forward to be a Certified Stroke Center.
