Mayor Morris introduced a discussion regarding the Emergency Medical Services request for proposals and direction to Staff. Mr. Gilley asked the Council to make comments and suggestions regarding the draft RFP. It is proposed ambulances be located on the north and south sides of town. The information at the beginning of the RFP is standard information in all City RFPs. The provider will train their staff at their own expense. The RFP does not contain any provisions calling for a City contribution of funds. provision 13. (c) regarding proposed revenue sources, the provider can request subsidy, which would be income to the provider. provision 13. (a) is in regard to a provider having more than one operation and what amount of money would be contributed to the home corporation. Mayor Morris stated she would like a percentage to be provided as well. Nothing in the RFP addresses any contract or contribution from SWT. Tom Partin stated each patient, even SWT students, are billed, and he bills the University directly when he provides standy-by services. Mr. Gilley confirmed to Mr. Cox audits would be provided to the city. Mr. Hart stated a transition period if the service changes was not addressed and needed to be clarified to have in place. Mr. Gilley advised Mr. Hart a new provider would provide their own ambulances and equipment, and the RFP needs to clarify when the new contract is terminated that ambulances need to be in place in the event the City has to take over the service. The requirement of an annual audit will be in the contract but does not necessarily need to be in the RFP. Dr. Randy Rogers of the EMS Board stated there needs to be consideration of people surrounding San Marcos, and asked if we were communicating with the County regarding EMS service. He stated the numbers of people in the surrounding area would not justify separate EMS service locations in those areas. Dr. Rogers was advised the city has had ongoing discussions with the county regarding EMS.

The RFP process is to determine certain information, including the cost
