Waiver of Fees 10/03/2002 FAY R BILES, Ph.D. Øpy President, FAVA Associates • 1588 Heights Ct., Marco Island 34145 444W. (941) 394 3089 Fax: (941) 394 8140 e-mail: faybilesaol.com October 3, 2002 Mr. John Dunnuck Public Services Division Administrator Collier County Government Center Building H- Second Floor 3301 East Tamiami Trail Naples, FL 34112 Dear Mr. Dunnuck: At the last meeting of the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council, September 25, 2002 several actions were discussed related to a waiver of fees for EMS Service. The current resolution under which EMS operates is that fees are waived for Everglades Seafood Festival, the County Fair, and the Collier County School Board high school varsity football games. The total for this waiver of fees amounts to $24,300. A question as to how many games and units were required revealed that there are four games at one time, and not enough fully equipped vehicles are available. When that happens, a Commander or Captain attend with an Expedition and equipment. Junior Varsity games do not require coverage. Some schools in the district not associated with the County School system are sometimes covered by local fire departments. If, for example, someone has a heart attack at the game, EMS would cover and charge the patient. The City of Naples charges for events unless it is a City event. The City of Marco's Fire Services charges based on the cost for overtime or whatever else is required. After much discussion the EMS Advisory Council approved the following action: The School Board or any organization that requires the presence of a unit and would like fees waived should agree to a contract such as the one with Naples Community Hospital. This action should be presented to the Board of County Commissioners. Sincerely, PI-Original Signed By ' Eay, R. Biles" Fay R.
