EXHIBIT A Chapter 5 AMBULANCESIEMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ARTICLE 1. IN GENERAL Sec. 5-1. Statutory Authority. This chapter is enacted by the City Council of Fort Worth, Texas, pursuant to Sec. 773.051 of the Texas Health & Safety Code, which provides that municipalities may establish standards for ambulances, and to See. 791.001 of the Texas Government Code which provides that combinations of local governmental units may contract for the provision of governmental services. Sec. 5-2. General purposes and intent of chapter. It is the purpose of this chapter: (1) To establish a regulated ambulance service system which can provide state-of-the-art clinical quality of care, with reasonable, reliable response time standards, and with the goal of furnishing the best possible chance of survival, without disability or preventable complication, to each ambulance patient. (2) To establish a sole-provider ambulance system, because it is unreasonable to have unnecessarily high rates and/or public subsidy to make needed improvements to ambulance service in the service area, when a more efficiently designed system can achieve the same results at lower cost.

(3) To provide more effective system performance through the provision of services by a competitively selected qualified private operator, rather than direct governmental operation of ambulance services.

with respect to some of the issues involved in the conversion of the paramedic service arrangement to a countywide "Enterprise Fund Model." This understanding is based on previous discussions between representatives of Texas Lifeline Corporation (herein "TLC"), Richard Neuhaus, members of the Fort Worth Ambulance Authority, its consultant, Jack Stout, and the November 1987 report to the Fort Worth Ambulance Authority from the Fourth Party, Inc. by Jack Stout entitled "Expanding the MedStar System: Issues, Options, and Recommendations". The parties acknowledge that this Memorandum of Understanding does not constitute a contract but will be attached to and incorporate in the Interlocal Cooperative Agreement and serve as a guide for the new contract to be executed between TLC and the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority. These understandings are summarized as follows: 1. Ambulance Authority The Fort Worth Ambulance Authority would be converted to a multi jurisdictional agency (herein the "Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority") pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperative Agreement. The Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority would be a legal entity separate from its city members and would own, control, manage, and administer the accounts receivable and the billing system. Title to infrastructure property and equipment would be transferred to the Multi- Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority by the City of Fort Worth on some basis to be negotiated between the two on them. The contract between the City of Fort Worth and TLC would be renegotiated and replaced with a new contract between TLC and the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority on the basis of terms and conditions set forth in this Memorandum of Understanding and as negotiated to the extent not agreed to herein. The term of the contract would be extended by thirty-nine (39) months with 'the same provisions for earned renewals as are included in the cur-rent contract. 2, Per Capita Management Fee The contract between TLC and Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority will provide for compensation to the contractor on the basis of a per capita rate multiplied by the population in the service area under agreement with the Multi- Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority each time a city is added. The per capita fee will be arrived at using the following methodology: 1.) Using Fort Worth historical demand, determine the annual gross volume of intro jurisdictional transports and multiply times $230.00 per emergency transport and$153.33 per non-emergency ftwisport to arrive at a projected gross revenue figure; 2.) Multiply the projected gross revenue figure by 63% to arrive at a projected net revenue(under the Failsafe Franchise Model) figure; 3.) Subtract the actual cost of billing and collection; 4.) Subtract $3.00 per transport, for payment of the EPAB fee which will no longer be the responsibility of the contractor; 5) Add the annual amount of first year subsidy from Fort Worth, $875,000,ft- 6) Divide the total amount by the population covered (using COG offi cial figures), to arri've at a per capita figure; 7.) Adjust the per capita figure by the CPI; 8,) Adjust the per capita figure to account for the changes in the definition of the expanded Service Area. Both parties agree that an adjustment needs to be negotiated to reflect the differences in the extended Service Area; and then 9.) Multiply the per capita fee, thus calculated, times the population in the newly contracted Service Area (again using the COG figures), and dividing by 12 to determine a Base Monthly Fee for intro jurisdictional work(excluding"extra-work" items). In no event will the total monthly payment be reduced (because of reduction in Service Area size or population) without at least 365 days prior notice unless a member city withdraws for due cause, based on contractor's default as defined in the Interlocal Cooperative Agreement. In addition, the contractor will be paid for "extra work", for long distance transfers, special events coverage,DRO transports, and transports in excess of the current per capita transport rate in the City of Fort Worth. The fees for various categories of "extra work" have not yet been negotiated but would be similar to such terms as they appear in the Pinellas Court.ty RFP. The per Capita rate would be discounted by two percent (2%) after total population in the service area exceeds 700,000 and by one percent (1%) additional for each incremental population increase of 42,000 up to a maximum discount of fourteen percent(14%). 3. Existink,Accounts Receivable The parties have agreed to conduct an independent appraisal of the net value of outstanding accounts receivable based on current collection practices less the reasonable costs of collection and will not be reduced by a present cash value discount. All outstanding accounts receivable would then be assigned by TLC to the new Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority. The Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority would give TLC a negotiable promissory note for the agreed upon net value of transferred accounts receivable. The note would bear no interest for the first year, interest at the rate of nine (9%) thereafter or the rate charged by Texas American Bank on the existing operating capital loans, whichever is less, and will be payable in twenty-four(24)months after the date on which the accounts receivable are transferred, That note and/or the accounts receivable would continue to collateralize the existing operating capital loans form Texas American Bank. TLC would continue to be responsible for interest on the operating capital loan for twelve (12) months after the date the accounts receivable are transferred. This arrangement will be subject to the approval of Texas American Bank. 4. Billie g System Hardware, Software and Management ConsultingfMaintenance TLC proposes to lease its billing system hardware, software and software support (including upgrades) to the new Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority for a monthly fee equal to its actual cost, beginning August 1, 1988. In addition, TLC will provide management consulting and system maintenance services for $2,500 per month. Both arrangements will be for an initial term of six (6) months, Thereafter the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority will have the option to continue all or a portion of the arrangement to purchase either the computer hardware (for its fair market value, but for not less than the amount of any unamortized debt on said hardware) or the software package or to terminate the use of the hardware and software 'without penalty. In the event it is the Multi- Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority's decision to terminate said use, TLC shall cooperate fully in effecting the conversion of the data to the Authority's new system. 5. Three-Way Lease Augement The ,existing three-way lease agreement covering ambulances and medical equipment between TLC and Fort Worth Ambulance Authority would be assigned by the Fort Worth Ambulance Authority to the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority, The Fort Worth Ambulance Authority would not be released under the current lease without the prior consent of Texas American Bank, however, under no circumstances would the dollar amount if its liability be increased above the then current level. All new equipment purchased by TLC to be used under the contract would be ]eased directly to the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority and subleased to TLC. The Fort Worth Ambulance Authority would not be involved as a master lessee and there would be no actual or implied guaranty of the lease arrangement by the City of Fort Worth or the Fort Worth Ambulance Autho'nity, All ambulance and medical equipment currently owned by Meissner- Brown which would be used under the contract would be leased by Meissner- Brown to the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority which would sublease to TLC The lease payments to Meissner-Brown will be set at a monthly rate necessary. to amortize the current value of the leased equipment over its remaining useful life, but not more than the amount of the sub-lease payments related to the same'equipment paid to the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority by TLC. 1 6. Subscription Pro am TLC will send a letter to all current subscribers soliciting renewals for a sixteen (16) month term beginning April 1, 1988, TLC's direct costs will be reimbursed from the renewal proceeds and the balance shall be divided pro rata as of the conversion date the Multi-Ruisdictional Ambulance Authority assumes control over the system. As consideration for transfer of the subscription rights, the Multi-'Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority 8411 pay$58,500. 7. Meissner=Brown The parties acknowledge that TLC has purchased the assets and goodwill of Meissner-Brown on an installment contract amortized over seven (7) years. The parties further acknowledge that the contemplated system conversion will result in a partial or total merger of the Meissner-Brown operation into the Medstar operation. In the event the TLC contract should be terminated prior to full amortization of the purchase price of Meissner-Brown, the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority will continue to make payments to Meissner-Brown for the amortized cost of the goodwill portion of the Meissner-Brown purchase. In return,TLC and Meissner-Brown will waive any and all claim they may otherwise have :to the assets and goodwill value in the Meissner-Brown operations being contributed to the converted ambulance system, 8. Service to Non-Conti ggous JUTIm Areas and Suburban Areas The parties acknowledge that service to non-contiguous urban areas and to suburban areas is more expensive for the same level of service because of greater distances and time between revenue producing transports. Additionally, on a per capita contract, the population base is too small to justify the same level of response time commitment. Therefore, it is understood that the contract between TLC and the Multi-Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority will provide for a higher per capita fee in such areas or, in the alternative, a lower level of response time commitment commensurate with the greater expense attributable in those areas; provided however, that in no event shall the City Of Fort Worth receive a lower level of service or a higher price/ subsidy combination than that already established under its current contract with TLC (except for ordinary inflation of the Uniform Schedule of Price/Subsidy Options as approved by the Multi- Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority), Attached is a proposed table of response time commitments for the per capita fee described in paragraph#2 above. 9. Termination of Interim Agreement Although no formal, written interim agreement was executed in the spring of 1987, the major elements of the recommendations included in the Fourth Party's "Twelve Thousand Mile Tune-Up" report have been implemented. It is agreed that the new contract contemplated in this Memorandum of Understanding would supersede and terminate such interim understandings, that the increase in subsidy payments will terminate with the March 10, 1988 payment and that the increased fee for service will remain in effect until the new contract becomes effective August 1, 1988. This letter sets forth all the issues the resolution of which the parties considered critical to a determination to move forward with the contemplated EMS system conversion and expansion to a multi jurisdictional service. However, the parties acknowledge that there are many other issues which have been discussed and will be addressed in greater detail during negotiation of the new contract. Those additional issues include but are not necessarily limited to assignment of existing Meissner-Brown contracts to the Multi- Jurisdictional Ambulance Authority, drafting and executing an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement which includes provisions for first responders and agreement to appoint EPAB as the medical control authority, upgrading and/or replacing the dispatch center, establishing facilities for a training center, refinancing and remodeling the existing building, drafting and adopting a model ordinance including provisions regarding wheelchair service, and financing the acquisition of' ETAK.

UNIFORM EMS ORDINANCE Be it ordained by the City Council of EqR—t vqqg-r� Texas: SEC. 1 STATUTORY AUTHORITY. This Ordinance is enacted by the City Council of FoRroopalk , Texas, pursuant to Sec. 3.10, Art. 44470 Texas Civil Statutes, which provides that local governmental units may establish standards for ambulances, and to Sec. 4(a), Art. 4413(32c) Texas Civil Statutes which provides that combinations of local governmental units may contract for the provision of governmental services. SEC. 2 GENERAL PURPOSES AND INTENT OF ORDINANCE. It is the purpose of this Ordinance: A. To establish a regulated ambulance service system which can provide state-of-the-art clinical quality of care, with reasonable, reliable response time standards, and with the goal of furnishing the best possible chance of survival, without disability or preventable complication, to each ambulance patient. B. To establish a sole-provider ambulance system, because it is unreasonable to have unnecessarily high rates and/or public subsidy to make needed improvements to ambulance service in the Service Area, when a more efficiently designed system can achieve the same results at lower cost. The most efficient design to achieve the goals of high-quality service, at the lowest cost, consistent with the quality of care required, is the implementation of the system described herein. (Exhibit A. Uniform EMS Ordinance,cant....} 2 C. To provide more effective system performance through the provision of services by a competitively selected qualified private operator, rather than direct governmental operation of ambulance services. D.

City of Fort Worth, Texas "affor and ouncit Communication DATE REFERENCE NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE 12MEDS I of 2 12/15/98 C-17191 suBjEar AUTHORIZE REVISED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES INTEffLOCAL cboPERATIVE . AGREEMENT AND ADOPT REVISED UNIFORM EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Emergency Medical Services Interlocal Cooperative Agreement as described below; and 2. Adopt the attached ordinance which amends Chapter 5 of the City Code, "Ambulances/Emergency Medical Services", and contains uniform provisions for the regulation of emergency medical services in each member jurisdiction of the Area Metropolitan Ambulance Authority. DISCUSSION: The Area Metropolitan Ambulance Authority (the Authority) is an interlocal cooperative of thirteen jurisdictions (Fort Worth, Burleson, Forest Hills, Haltom City, Haslet, Lakeside, Lake Worth, River Oaks, Saginaw, Sansom Park, Westover Hills, White Settlement, and Westworth Village) formed for the purpose of providing ambulance services in the region. The Authority was created in 1988 as a successor to the Fort Worth Ambulance Authority and operates under the "MedStarO trade name. The Authority's business structure is based on the Public Utility Model, wherein billing and collection is perforrned by Authority staff and ambulance service is provided by a contractor under a performance- based contract. Placing the financial risk of collection of patient fees on the Authority allows the contractor to focus on provision of the medical and clinical services uninfluenced by fluctuations in the collection rate. In addition, the ambulance contract is competitively awarded to a single provider which is given, with certain exceptions, the exclusive right to furnish ambulance services in the Authority's service area. The single provider system assures that ambulance patients receive a uniform level of patient care and reduces the need for taxpayer subsidies created when other ambulance firms are allowed to serve only the lucrative segments of the market. Medical regulation and quality control for the system is provided by a medical director who is hired on a contract basis, and by the Emergency Physicians Advisory Board (EPAB), composed of emergency room physicians representing each major hospital, and other physicians appointed by the Tarrant County Medical Society. The EPAB serves without compensation. The Authority is currently conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for awarding a new ambulance contract to a qualified operator to furnish and manage dispatch and field operations services. The RFP process also is reflective of changes in the industry, and based on the proposals received, may provide an opportunity to operate non-exclusive "demand management" services and wheelchair and other medical transportation services. As part of the process, the Authority is requesting that its member jurisdictions, including Fort Worth, adopt a revised intedocal cooperative agreement and revised uniform ambulance services ordinance. Copies of the revised agreement and the ordinance are attached. City of Fort Worth, Texas U "affor and cou"61 Comm nication W DATE REFERENCE NUMBER I I NAME AGE 12/15/98 C-17191 12MEDS 2 of 2 SUBJECT AUTHORIZE REVISED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AND ADOPT REVISED UNIFORM EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ORDINANCE As with the current Intedocal Agreement, the revised Interlocal Agreement provides that, until.such time as the total population of the member jurisdictions exceeds 880,000 persons, the Authority's affairs shall be governed by a board composed of directors appointed by Fort Worth (4 members), other member jurisdictions (1 member for each 110,000 population) and the Medical Director (who serves ex officio, but with voting rights). Annually, each member jurisdiction has the ability to select the price/subsidy option to be applied to the member jurisdiction for the year, provided that no jurisdiction can reduce its subsidy by more than 10% per year until the Authority establishes a prudent net worth equal to 50% of its annual budget. Each member jurisdiction is required to establish and fund a first responder operation and to adopt the Uniform EMS Ordinance. The Uniform EMS Ordinance establishes the Authority as the provider of ambulance services in the adopting jurisdiction, establishes the EPAB to oversee medical regulation of the system, and establishes a single provider system with certain exceptions. The ordinance also provides for EPAB regulation of wheelchair transport units, stretcher vans and other patient transportation services. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that adoption of the revised contract and ordinance will have no material effect on City funds.
