Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 1116.  A resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona approving the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of San Luis, Arizona and City of Somerton, Arizona for firefighter personnel services.    (Hank Green, Fire Chief)

A previous IGA delineates the assignment and use of Somerton Fire Department personnel assigned to the City of San Luis Fire Department  for the housing of City of Somerton Firefighters at City of San Luis Fire Department while operating a City of Somerton ambulance. This IGA expired according to its terms.

The new IGA changes the room rate from $250.00 per Firefighter per day to $125.00 per Firefighter per day.  The new IGA also specifies that the two SCFD Firefighters must consist of one Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and one Certified Emergency Paramedic (CEP).

At present time the City of San Luis is beginning operations under its own Certificate of Necessity.  The new IGA is the next step in the transition of operation of SLFD ambulances by SLFD personnel under the Certificate of Necessity (CON) issued by the Arizona Department of Health Services, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems (BEMSTS). This new IGA allows both Somerton and San Luis personnel operate out of the San Luis Fire Station in performing public safety operations.
