PURPOSE: To consider franchise requests from South Orange Rescue Squad
and Orange County Rescue Squad for the provision of certain rescue
services.
BACKGROUND: In April 1993, the Board of Commissioners adopted an
"Ordinance Regulating Emergency Medical, First Responder, and Rescue
Service and Granting of Franchises and Contracts to the Operators in
the County of Orange. " This ordinance updated and modernized the
County' s ambulance and EMS regulations, and superseded the County' s
1981 EMS franchise ordinance.
Orange County Rescue Squad has asked to be franchised to provide
vehicle extrication rescue. South Orange Rescue Squad has asked to be
franchised to provide vehicle extrication, high/low angle, and water
rescue. These applications are the first phase of a new process by EMS
staff to franchise rescue services as required by the new ordinance.
Emergency Management Services staff have reviewed the documentation
required of applicants by the franchise ordinance and find that the
applications for franchises are satisfactorily supported in both cases.
EMS staff recommend approval of the franchise applications submitted by
both rescue squads.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the
franchises for Orange County Rescue Squad to provide vehicle
extrication rescue and for South Orange Rescue Squad to provide
vehicle extrication, high/low angle, and water rescue.
