SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 12 A -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 2008

ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
City Commission is requested to give consideration of an Ordinance amending Chapter 96 to

services provided by the Fire-Rescue Department to be effective following second reading.
BACKG ROU N D
Advanced Data Processing Incorporated (ADPI) does billing for many public EMS agencies in
the area, including Delray Beach, and they have a very broad perspective on this issue.
They have provided recommendations to improve revenues by adjusting fees for service,
which if approved by the City Commission could afford the City the opportunity to
raise revenues in both the near and longer terms. The Fire-Rescue Staff has considered
ADPI's recommendations and provided its recommendations for fee adjustments. The City
Attorney's office has prepared the necessary Ordinance for consideration by the City
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the City Commission consider for adoption the recommendations of Fire-Rescue
Staff and approve the Ordinance.
