Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with Williamson County for the establishment of EMS ambulance and personnel housing at Round Rock Fire Stations.
Body
This item is an Interlocal agreement between Williamson County, and the City of Round Rock, for establishing housing of County Emergency Medical Services (“EMS) and Personnel in a fire station that is owned and operated by the City of Round Rock. The City of Round Rock agrees to provide the County with the following:
1. One covered vehicle bay at the Stations to house one County EMS ambulance.
2. The sole use of two bedrooms, one office space, area in bay for oxygen storage, storage area for medical supplies.
3. Shared use of one additional bedroom as needed and the reasonable usage of the shared facilities in the Station, which shall include but not be limited to the dining area, day room(s), kitchen, laundry, supply closets, restrooms (bath/showers and toilets) as well as all amenities within the Station.
The City of Round Rock shall maintain and repair, as necessary, the Station’s roof, foundation, parking, grounds, common areas, the structural soundness of the exterior walls, building exterior, electrical systems, plumbing systems, HVAC system and all amenities within the Station.
The County agrees to pay the amount deemed necessary to provide improvements to the EMS sole occupied space to prepare the facilities as move-in ready. If any of the WCEMS occupied space is in need of maintenance as determined by The City of Round Rock, the County will be financially responsible for repairs other than the above covered services.
County EMS crews being able to house at the Round Rock Stations, give the EMS unit the ability to more effectively and rapidly respond to locations that are in close proximity to the Fire Stations housing the EMS Units.
