Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Improve County Government Operations.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
Pursue County Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Agencies and Stakeholders.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). This non-financial Facility Use Agreement (Agreement) is equally beneficial for both Inland County Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) and Inyo County, therefore, no financial relationship is required.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
ICEMA, as the Local Emergency Medical Services Agency (LEMSA), is responsible for ensuring effective Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono Counties. ICEMA administers State and local codes and regulations governing the provision of emergency medical care to the sick and injured at the scene of an emergency and during transport to a care hospital.
ICEMA’s administration is headquartered in San Bernardino County, where the majority of ICEMA’s operation, and population served, are centered. ICEMA staff have increasingly been required to travel to Inyo County for local meetings and to provide support as the regulatory LEMSA. ICEMA and Inyo County agree that a local ICEMA Public Service Employee (Liaison), stationed in Inyo County, would benefit both organizations through increased operational efficiency, improved communication, and increased local support.
Inyo County agrees to provide a workspace located at 1360 North Main Street, Bishop, CA 93514, to ICEMA for use by one ICEMA Liaison. Approval of this Agreement will establish parameters for office workspace and general workplace accommodations for the ICEMA liaison, at no cost to ICEMA. The Agreement is effective upon full execution and may be terminated by either party upon thirty days written notice.
