RESOLUTION - re A.mbulance Rate Schedule Councilman Fulton reported that a meeting was held with representatives of the County, the local ambulance operators and their representatives, and representatives from the Northern California Emergency Medical Council concerning a uniform maximum rate schedule for ambulances . Several issues were discussed and agreements reached, and it is the a2�v,� recommendation of Councilman Fulton that Resolution No. 75-6 be adopted. This resolution provides for an increase in the basic rate for any stretcher patient from $40.00 to $45.00; includes a provision which permits a charge of $10.00 per hour for the registered nurse accompanying the life support unit when it is in service, and eliminates the requirement that a duplicate copy of the patient invoice must be filed with the licensing officer when the patient is .charged for cer.tain special services . This requirement was considered unnecessary as ambulance companies are required by State law to keep these records and they are available for review upon request. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman A.nderson . that Resolution No. 75-6 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding establishing an amended uniform maximum rate schedule for the operation of ambulances in the City of Redding.
