MOTION CARRIED
Public Safety Committee - Chairman Anderson
At the continued meeting of May 11, 1977, the committee considered the Auburn-
Federal Way Pa~'amedic Provider Program proposal. Chairman Anderson opened the
floor to questions on the proposal and called on those people in the audience
who are involved in the program to help answer them. Bud rhorsen, Administrator
of the proposed provider group explained that the proposed program is a better
one than previously developed and is a stepping stone to paramedic programs for I
each of Auburn and Federal Way. Seven p. aramedics would be hired to provide service
7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and they would be supplemented by a fire fighter fro
each area who would be a d~iver. If the program is approved, it would begin
development in October, 1977, and would be in service by July, 1978. This is the
last area of King County to receive this type of service, and it is felt that the
citizens are desirous of this service. The funding received from King County plus
the donations of ci tizens will put the program over the top.
Chairman Anderson introduced King County Councilman Paul Barden and presented a
petition signed by a broad. spectrum of local citizens and business concerns.
Councilman Flechsig asked Mr. Barden if the $1.50 per person contribution by King
County would be enough to support the program next year and the following year.
Mr. Barden recognized that this amount would not be enough to keep up wi th infla-
~ion, but emphasized that the King County Council is strongly committed to this
program regardless of increased costs wbich it cannot be sure of. Councilman
F1echsig asked if the program would cease if King County did not continue funding
it, and Barden felt this was very unlikely. Chairman Anderson asked Bud Thorsen
about the programl;s relationship to Valley Com, and whether this would cost Auburn
more money. Mr. Thorsen explained that the paramedic program would consider going
into Valley Com at the appropriate time if Valley Com would allow them in, and that
he can't see that it would cause any additional cost to Auburn.
Councilman Craig stated his concerns about communications between the provider group
and Auburn, since only Auburn would be on Valley Com, and about the phrase on pagel
5 of the proposal about members bearing the costs of moderate overruns. Bud Thorse
pointed out that District #39 would bear most of the cost of any overrun and Mr.
Barden added that the agreement allows for any member to leave the program after
a 30-day notice is given, should Auburn at any time feel that the overrun oosts
were unreasonable. Mr. Thorsen also commented that the provider group will be on
the same radio frequency as Valley Com. Councilman Craig asked if the one aid
car which Auburn commits to the program would be lost to King County, should Auburn
decide to pullout later, and Mr. Thorsen answered no.
Councilman Roegner commented that the clause about members bearing overrun costs
was probably a standard contract protection for King County and that Auburn would
probably want that same protection if it were the program sponsor. He added that
the communi ty has expressed its desire and support for this program, and urged that
the council support it while it could still be provided wi thout cost to Auburn.
Councilmen Flechsig mentioned that any overtime paid to cover for the fire fighter
involved in the program is certainly a cost to Auburn. Chairman Anderson admi tted
that the program will cost Auburn one-third of one fire fighter's time and salary,
but that Auburn's involvement wi th Valley Com has freed one fire fighter from
dispatch work to regular duty, and the program will cost only one-third of his
time. Councilman Flechsig commented that in accordance wi th this program, he could
not support any request for addi tional jfire fighter personnel in the near future.
In response to Councilman Lea's stated concern about the program's response time I
to A. uburI?, Mr. Thor. sen explained that Auburn would still be using its aid cars for
the initial response within the necessary 4 minutes response time, and that the
paramedic cars would be able to reach any area in Auburn wi thin 10 minutes, but
that the paramedic cars would only respond to necessary calls and would not be
the initial response. Further in response to Councilman Lea's question, Mr. Thorsen
explained that when an Auburn aid car is out of service, it will be replaced by
an aid car from another area until it is again ready for service. Chairman
Anderson added that the Auburn minipumper is now equipped for EMT service and that
another vehicle is in the process of being equipped for EMT.
Councilman Craig stated he is still concerned wi th the program being too open-ended
as costs go, that the emotional issue seemed to override any financial considerations.

MONDAY

Dick Fidler of Auburn, stated that the costs of the program were coming from districts
other than Auburn.
Councilman Lea suggested that a decision be held in abeyance until the executive
meeting of next Monday, and that staff members be available at that time to answer
some of the questions brought up here. Councilman Anderson disagreed and felt
that any questions ttould be answered now, so that the council could take action
and settle the question of supporting the program or not.
It was, moved by l).nderson, seconded by Roegner; to approve the Auburn-Federal Way
Paramedic prov1:der Program as wri tten, and instruct Mayor Kersey to sign on
behalf of the City of Auburn.
Councilman Craig asserted that he would also like another meeting to further define
costs, that he couldn't support the program as it is, and that it would be better
to go into the program unanimously, after all these questions were answered to
everyone's satisfaction. Chairman Anderson said he was concerned that a delay
might mean losing a chance at the program. Councilman Flechsig also suggested
that another meeting be held, a continuance to next Monday night, and that Auburn's
fire chief and District #39's fire chief be invited to join in a workshop session.
Mayor Kersey asked Jill Marsden, King County coordinator for the program, what a
delay at this time would mean. She indicated it would put off any action by
King County until at least July, and that time is needed to set up the program
and train the personnel.
Councilman Lea asked for a fi ve minute recess.
After the recess Mayor Kersey called for a vote on the motion.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Councilman Anderson, F1echsig, Lea, Roegner, Kitchell voting
YES. Counc1lrren Craig and J..arson voting NO.
MOTION CARRIED
Finance Committee - Chairman Flechsig
It was moved by F1echsig, seconded by Lea to not accept any bid on the fire engine
at this time, and to continue wi th the program of putting $25,000 per year in the
Fire Cumulative Reserve Fund, so that there will be enough money in two or three
years to purchase a new fire engine.
It was explained that this action would allow consideration of the bids at a later
date, after it is determined whether the budget can be balanced, and this cost
could be afforded.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
All councilmen voting YES.
MOTION CARRIED
