Englewood
Acting Chief Chria Olaon
Thia matter vu propoaed during th• 1988 budget retreat, and ,,., referred to the

Pass en ordinance &11ending Title 1, Chapter 6F of the Englewood Municipal Code, im-
posing an &11bulance tranaportation fee on all non-re ■idents who are transported in
an Englewood Fire Departaent vehicle , due to an emergency medical situation.
BACJ:GllOIIND
Thi s ordinance vaa reco•ended by city council aa a means to increas e general
revenues to the city . The intent vaa not to charge for !!!i reaponae by the fire
department regarding emergency medical aituationa, but only to charge for any
resulting tranaportation to a medical facility .
FINANCIAL
A recommendation for a propoaed fee, baaed on eatabli ■hed local charges , was 1ubmlt~
ted to the city manager . No agreement on thia fee baa yet been reached . A local
private ambulance company baa aubmitted a propoaal for the adllinietrative process i ng
of all billing at a aet fee of 51 of total billing•, Thia propoaal baa not been
accepted to date . In eatabliahing billing and collection procedures, ex·cernal ad-
miniatrative proce11ing vill certainly be conaidered .
