Resolution approving an addendum to the 2004-2005 Emergency Medical Services Agreement for paramedic services with Milwaukee County.
Analysis
This resolution approves an addendum to the 2004-2005 paramedic service agreement between the City of Milwaukee and County of Milwaukee. The addendum will extend the current paramedic system agreement for an additional one-year period (January 1-December 31, 2006) and identifies the change in percentage of system revenue for the City of Milwaukee as directed by the Intergovernmental Coordinating Council. Milwaukee County will begin payment of 2006 system revenue and tax levy upon receipt of the signed addendum.
Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee and County of Milwaukee initially entered into a contract for paramedic services on August 25, 1977; and

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee and the County of Milwaukee wish to amend the 2004-2005 contract to reflect the change; and
Whereas, The formula maintains a distribution of tax levy (county funding) at one seventeenth of $3,000,000 and, for 2006 dates of service, changes the share of revenue percentage payable to the City of Milwaukee from 54.1667% to 52.9412% of net collections minus any expenses as identified in subparagraph 4.1.11 and subsequent subparagraphs of the 2004-2005 agreement; and
