OLYMPIC AMBULANCE SERVICE - ~ RATE SCHEDULE PROPOSED, #AB84-591 Ms. McCluskey presented a request for review and approval of proposed rate increases for the year 1985 frtm Ol!mpic i~nbulance Service, which was file during Nov~Tnber, as required by city ordinance. Mr. Bill Littlejohn, Owner - Ol!mpic Ambulance Service, was present to answer questions frcm the Council. He stated that costs were kept at a miD_im~n and indicated that there was only one charge that has not appeared on the rate schedule in the past, being "Night charge". He stated that it is to offset standby time for personnel required to be on-call. He felt if it was not for the heavy day schedule of runs, they could not afford to operate at the ncminal night charge. Overall increase amounted to approximately 5%. He defined other ambulance rates, for exanple Sheppard Ambulance, which charges considerably more however, in many cities and counties they serve, they are required to per- form paramedic type support, whereas the City of Bremerton/Fire department, already provides this service within the city limits. Councilman Adrian asked Mr. Littlejohn if he ran the only ambulance service in ~e City of Bremerton with Mr. Littlejohn stating no. Council members expressed concern whether the other firm, Kitsap Public Services, would be granted the same rate increase or be at an advantage by being able to charge the old rate schedule. Mr. Bert Gegner stated the same concern but was advised that calls within the city are on rotation, unless patient or family requests a preference. Ms. McCluskey stated she intsrpretated the ordinance to read that a firm must subnit their request during NoveTa3er of each year for rate increase consideration for the following year. Councilman Homing felt that, if the other firm missed it's deadline, it was their fault and Council sheuld act on Mr. Littlejohn's request this evening. Councilman Drouin stated he ~Duld like the night charge defined, frc~n 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. inclusive. Further Mr. Drouin stated he thought the fee for "extra attendant" was excessive at 25% increase over 1984 and would like the figure reduced to a 5% increase or $21.00. Ms. Lena Swanson was concerned that Council should consider the President' s message of cost containment. Councilman Amo asked if the Council only had the choice to accept or reject the proposed rate increases with City Attorney Broughton stating this was correct, however Council has the right to amend or change any charges they feel out of line before enacting. Mr. Littlejohn responded to Ms. Swanson's ccrrents stating he handles all public assistant calls, accepting the rates payable at a loss of 50%. M/S/C/U/(Adrian/kmo) to approve rate changes, sutmlitted by Olympic Ambulance Service, with two changes; (1) the charge for "extra attendant" be reduced finn $25.00 - $21.00, and (2) under "night charge", verbiage added to clarify hours frown 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. inclusive.
