Paramedic The City Manager presented a draft position paper
Program on the Paramedics Program, dated November 30, 1976,
containing eight policy statements which were
drawn up by the ad hoc Paramedic Committee of the
League of California Cities, Orange County Division.
These statements will be presented to the League on
December 9, 1976, for adoption, and areas follows:
(1) The Division.continues to support the Paramedics
Master Plan as amended by the Emergency Medical Care
Committee and the Board of Supervisors, and encour-
ages the adoption and implementation of said Master
Plan by each city in the County of Orange; (2) The
Division does not support a.Countywide service area
tax with an accompanying administrative board;
(3) The Division requests that the County continue
to carry all training and communications costs for
the paramedics service; (4) The Division suggests
that monetary consideration for service between
agencies be formulated on population. -Paramedic
services and'fire services can be interchanged
1
'J

between/among agencies; (5) The Division recommends
that, if the user fee issue causes a deterrent to
an inter -agency agreement, the imposition of a
service fee specifically for paramedics service be
dropped. If transportation is provided, a charge
may be imposed for transportation service only, not
to exceed a dollar figure determined by a financial
investigation of such costs; (6) An initial deploy-
ment capability at the EMT -I level within each fire
department is to be achieved and maintained; (7) If
the private sector is utilized for emergency trans-
portation after a patient is stabilized, then a need
and necessity permit must be issued to each ambulance
company for coverage of a pre -selected area. A
performance standard providing a given availability
and deployment measurement with a specified period
of time should be required; (8) The Division strongly
supports the continuance of current or better para-
medics training and performance level requirements.
Control of this standard must be maintained by the
County. On motion by Vice Mayor Hanunett, seconded
by Councilwoman Hertzog, and carried unanimously,
the eight policy statements were approved and the
City's delegate to the League instructed to vote
for these statements in the affirmative.
