RESOLUTION NO. 2001-099 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA INCREASING THE PARAMEDIC SERVICE FEE AND ADOPTING THE FEE TO THE MISCELLANEOUS FEE SCHEDULE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: The City of Santa Ana Fire Department, Paramedic Service Section has incurred increased costs of providing paramedic services to the community. Increasing the fee imposed on citizens requiring paramedic services will help defer the increased costs to the City in providing the service. The Santa Ana Fire Department has provided paramedic services to the citizens of Santa Aha since 1974. Due to increased cost, the paramedic services flat rate fee is not longer equivalent to the cost of providing the service. In order to continue providing paramedic services to the community, the City has been forced to subsidiZe the program from its general fund. C= The proposed increased fee of 7.8 % will adjust the fee to more accurately represent the actual cost of providing paramedic services. Due to increased costs in providing paramedic services, it is appropriate to add this fee to the miscellaneous fee schedule. D= The City Council incorporates herein, as though fully set forth, the Request For Council Action accompanying this resolution. Section 2. The City Council hereby increases and establishes the following fees relating to paramedic services. A. The paramedic services fiat rate fee is hereby increased by 7.8 %. Section 3. That without further action of the City Council the paramedic services fiat rate fees shall be incorporated into the City's Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. ADOPTED this 17th day of December, 2001.
