KITTITAS COUNTY <br />Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: December 19, 2023 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to approve the annual Resolution to Authorize Execution of <br />the Interlocal Agreement with Kittitas County EMS & Trauma Care <br />Council for Coordination of Emergency Medical Services and the <br />2024 Payment Agreement (attachment “C” to the Interlocal <br />Agreement). The term of this agreement will be from January 1, 2024, <br />through December 31, 2024. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: Attachment “C”, Payment Agreement, is an original part of the <br />Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the Kittitas County EMS & <br />Trauma Care Council (EMS Council) that was entered into December <br />26, 1995. The Attachment “C” is the only portion of the agreement <br />altered annually. An annual Resolution is also renewed. The Payment <br />Agreement reflects the Proposed 2024 Budget Plan recommended by <br />the EMS Council on June 8, 2023, for the operation of the Kittitas <br />County EMS Division and sent out to all participating jurisdictions in <br />July. The Proposed 2024 Budget Plan was presented at the November <br />15, 2023, KCCOG meeting by the EMS Coordinator, as required per <br />Interlocal Cooperation Agreement. The 2024 Budget Plan was <br />recommended by KCCOG as presented. The OFM 04/01/23 <br />population forecast was used for budget distribution between the <br />participating jurisdictions. The budget plan reflects an 11% budget <br />increase for 2024 jurisdiction contribution. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: The Prosecutors Office has been requested to review the annual <br />Resolution and Payment Agreement. The only change to the Payment <br />Agreement annually is to the budget amount to be paid by each <br />participating jurisdiction. Reviewed and approved # 10286. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Payment Agreement and Resolution with the Kittitas <br />County EMS & Trauma Care Council for the term January 1, 2024, <br />through December 31, 2024, effective January 1, 2024. <br /> <br />HANDLING: Original – Clerk of the Board <br /> Original – Kittitas County EMS & Trauma Care Council <br /> Original – Auditor <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: - Kittitas County EMS & Trauma Care Council Payment Agreement <br />(3 originals) for the term January 1, 2024, through December 31, <br />2024. <br />- Resolution (3 originals) for the term January 1, 2024, through <br />December 31, 2024. <br /> Supporting Documents - 2024 Budget Plan <br /> - Interlocal Cooperation Agreement <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Cheryl Burrows, EMS Coordinator
