This resolution authorizes appropriate City offices to create Wisconsin Department of Revenue Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP) accounts on behalf of City-certified third-party ambulance service providers.

Whereas, The City has certified four third-party ambulance service providers to perform Basic Life Support and transportation activities to augment the work of the Milwaukee Fire Department; and
Whereas, Enacted August 6, 2015, Wisconsin Act 59 states that a debt owed to an ambulance service provider operating pursuant to a contract with a municipality is considered a debt owed to the municipality if the debt relates to providing ambulance services to an individual in that municipality; and
Whereas, City-certified third-party ambulance service providers have requested that the City establish TRIP accounts on their behalf; and
Whereas, Any City-incurred costs associated with the management and oversight of the TRIP account shall be paid by the third-party ambulance service provider associated with the account; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the appropriate City offices create a TRIP account for each City-certified third-party ambulance service provider upon request by the ambulance service providers, and, be it
Further Resolved, That after submitting files to the TRIP account, City-certified third-party ambulance service providers shall also submit TRIP files to appropriate City offices, and, be it
Further Resolved, That City-certified third-party ambulance service providers using a TRIP account shall provide collection rate information to appropriate City offices, and, be it
Further Resolved, That City-certified third-party ambulance service providers shall submit outstanding collectables to TRIP beginning January 15 of the desired year, and, be it
Further Resolved, That all City-certified third-party ambulance service provider outstanding TRIP balances be removed from TRIP by January 1 of the following year and resubmitted, if needed, after January 15, and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Attorney shall, upon contract renewal, include the aforementioned provisions in future contracts, and, be it
Further Resolved, That all costs incurred from the management and oversight of the TRIP account shall be paid by the third-party ambulance service provider to the City.
