Commissioners to review MOUs/JPAs with county departments; prosecutor to be engaged
Summary
The ambulance district’s legal team drafted memoranda of understanding (or possibly joint powers agreements); commissioners directed staff to review draft agreements with HR, IT, facilities and the county prosecutor before bringing them back for formal consideration.
District staff told commissioners that legal counsel has drafted agreements to define the relationship between the county and the ambulance district and that the remaining step is to review drafts with county departments before returning to the board.
Staff said the drafts are ready and that they need meetings with Human Resources, Information Technology, and Facilities to confirm fees and operational details. Because HR currently lacks a director, staff proposed asking the county prosecutor to provide temporary decision‑making input for HR so the MOUs can move forward.
Commissioners suggested convening a single meeting that includes the prosecutor, HR, IT, Facilities and ambulance district representatives to resolve open questions and then bring the final draft for board action. Staff asked for clarity on terminology, noting earlier work referenced both MOUs and JPAs; the district will confirm which form of agreement will be used and use consistent language in future materials.
No final agreements were executed at the meeting; staff will coordinate departmental review and bring a finalized agreement to a future meeting for board consideration.
