RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING REVISED RULES FOR THE PARAMEDIC SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAM AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 8667
WHEREAS, the City’s Paramedic Subscription Program (the “Program”) offers enrolled eligible households, businesses and non-resident students the ability to pay a fixed annual fee in order to reduce the risks of incurring out-of-pocket expenses for eligible EMS/Paramedic services provided by the City.
WHEREAS, the rules governing the Program and its administration were last established by the City Council on March 21, 1995 by the Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 8667.
WHEREAS, for Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Program will no longer be offered on an “opt-out” basis via utility bill and will instead be offered solely on an “opt-in” basis.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt new rules for the Program that reflect this change.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The recitals set forth above are true and correct.
The City Council approves the Administrative Rules for the Paramedic Subscription Program (the “Rules”), which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Rules shall govern the Paramedic Subscription Program with respect to the 2024-25 Program Year and each subsequent Program Year, and shall govern all enrollments that occur for the 2024-25 Program Year even if those enrollments occur prior to the first day of that Program Year. For the 2023-2024 Program Year (ending June 30, 2024) and all services that occurred during the 2023-2024 Program Year, the Program shall continue to operate as if this Resolution had not been adopted.
Resolution No. 8667 is hereby repealed.
This Resolution relates to the administration and operation of the Program and does not alter (i) the rate of the fees charged in connection with the Program or (ii) the rates charged on a fee-for-service basis in connection with services provided by the Fire Department. All such rates were set by prior resolution, are set forth in the City’s Master Fee Schedule, and continue as previously adopted.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution, which shall be effective immediately upon adoption.
ADOPTED BY THE FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 7, 2024
