City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

08/11/2020

BACKGROUND

Schertz EMS has provided ambulance coverage during football season for several school districts in our area to include SCUCISD, Marion ISD and Randolph ISD. Last football season, we covered a Randolph High School football game at Cole High School when the Randolph HS field was under maintenance. Cole High School is located on Fort Sam Houston in the Fort Sam Houston Independent School District. The administrators at Cole High School were impressed with our courteous and professional crews, and they have requested that we provide an ambulance during their 2020 football season.

GOAL

To provide EMS services for the 2020 Fort Sam Houston ISD football season.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Providing an ambulance at these football games will provide a benefit to the players and spectators during the 2020 football season.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Consideration and/or action authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Service Contract with Fort Sam Houston Independent School District for EMS services.

FISCAL IMPACT

The overall impact to the EMS Department is expected to be approximately $5,000 in revenue which will offset labor costs, fuel and ambulance supplies/maintenance costs. Since this service is located on Fort Sam, the district agreed to pay our travel time to and from the games. Our standby costs are $125 per hour.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends Resolution No. 20-R-88 approving a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Service Contract with Fort Sam Houston Independent School District for EMS services.
