Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving access only agreement with Zoll Data Systems, Inc.

This agreement allows Williamson County EMS to access medical records from a previous vendor.  The previous vendor was purchased by a new company and this is an update of the previous agreement.  The vendor has not agreed to a termination-for-convenience or Prompt Payment Act inclusion as recommended by Legal and Audit; however, EMS is asking for the approval based on the following factors: 1) this is a technology-related item for availability of existing medical records and the technology-vendor is not willing to deviate from their standard contract language; 2) there is a long-term established relationship with the vendor; 3) the dollar amount here is only $1,188 per year for a 3-year commitment; and 4) there are no significant risks or liability exposure related to this contract.
