Dear President Scott:
Attached for filing, please find the above-referenced resolution to be considered by the Common
Council at its December 10, 2018 meeting. This resolution approves a two-year interlocal agreement with
St. Joseph County for the City of South Bend to provide ambulance service for those portions of St. Joseph
County which do not otherwise have ambulance service available. Following the expiration of the initial
two-year term, the agreement is set to automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless
terminated by either party.
The area to be served is referenced in the agreement and depicted in one of the accompanying
exhibits,but is generally described as all unincorporated portions of St.Joseph County,except for the cities
of South Bend and Mishawaka, property which is owned or operated by the University of Notre Dame,and
any other municipal corporation or location within St.Joseph County in which ambulance service is already
provided.
I will be presenting this agreement to the Common Council, along with Assistant Chiefs Todd
Skwarcan and Andy Myer.Your favorable consideration is requested. Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you need additional information.
