Title

Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Dallas County Community College District on behalf of El Centro College and the City of Mesquite on behalf of the Mesquite Fire Department (MFD) for the MFD to provide internship ambulance shifts for medical students of the College.

 

Body

The Mesquite Fire Department (MFD) routinely sends employees to El Centro College (College) for Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B) and Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P) training. A key piece of this training is supervised ambulance rides for the students to increase students’ proficiency and understanding of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The MFD generally hosts these supervised rides of El Centro students for MFD-sent employees only. The Agreement outlines the responsibilities of the College and the MFD in regards to this ridership program. The Agreement protects both the College and the MFD against liabilities incurred by the opposite party and is a necessary agreement for the College accreditation process.

 

Recommended/Desired Action

Staff recommends the City Manager be authorized to finalize and execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Dallas County Community College District.
