AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           November 28, 2011

From:                          Jim Lemberg, Manager Communications Utility

Subject:                      Resolution authorizing execution of a Master Service Agreement with Lake Emergency Medical Services, Inc. for the provision of communications services.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing a Master Service Agreement with Lake Emergency Services, Inc.

Analysis:

On October 1, 2011, Lake-Sumter Emergency Medical Services, Inc. ceased to exist, and its operations within Lake County were taken over by a newly formed entity, Lake Emergency Medical Services, Inc.  This agreement is with that new entity and effectively replaces an identical agreement that the City had previously entered into with Lake-Sumter Emergency Medical Services, Inc.

Options:

1.  Approve the resolution, or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

This agreement will allow the City’s Communications Utility to continue providing communications services to Lake Emergency Medical Services, Inc.
