Discussion and possible action on any and all items to create a Memorandum of Understanding with 1582, LLC, and the City of San Luis to conduct annual physicals. (Angel Ramirez, Fire Chief)

The San Luis Fire Department is requesting approval for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with 1582, LLC, a company that specializes in providing comprehensive annual physicals for fire departments. As you are aware, the health and well-being of our firefighters are critical to maintaining the highest level of service to our community. Partnering with 1582 will ensure that our firefighters receive thorough and tailored medical evaluations, helping us to identify potential health issues early and take preventative measures. The company's expertise in working with fire departments ensures that their assessments are specifically designed to meet the unique needs and risks associated with our profession.

By approving this MOU, you will be taking a significant step towards enhancing the safety and longevity of our firefighters' careers. 1582's proven track record, coupled with their specialized approach, will provide our team with the best possible care. This proactive measure will not only protect the health of our firefighters but will also ensure that our department remains fully operational and capable of responding to the needs of our community. We strongly believe that this partnership is an investment in the well-being of our firefighters and, by extension, the safety of the entire community. Your support in approving this MOU is greatly appreciated.

Also, our physicals are due this September. 1582, LLC, will also be conducting the City of Yuma Fire Department physicals at the same time, which makes sense that we also use them since they will be in the area.

San Luis City Code on Purchasing, Section 3.05.080 on professional medical services, applies, and bidding is not required.
