A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD OPPOSING
ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 4058 RELATING TO
LOCAL ADMINISTRATION OF EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES SYST~.
%~rXEi~EAS, a dispute exists between the City of
Bakersfield and the County of Kern as to the County's or County
Emergency Medical Service's attempt to regulate rates charged for
emergency ambulance services within the incorporated limits of
the City of Bakersfield, a chartered municipal corporation; and
WHEREAS, in an attempt to resolve such dispute in its
favor, the County of Kern has asked for legislation addressing
such issue, and others relating to local administrative emergency
medical services, and Assemblyman Wyman has introduced Assembly
Bill No. 4058 in response to such request; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 4058 does not specifically
allow the County or County Emergency Medical Services to specify
minimum rates for emergency ambulance services within a chartered
city and the passage of such bill would fail to clarify the
issue, but may be interpreted as authorizing the County or County
Emergency Medical Services to enforce such rates with the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the
City of Bakersfield as follows:
The Council of the City of Bakersfield hereby
expresses its opposition to Assembly Bill No.
4058 and directs the Clerk to forward
certified copies of this resolution to the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Kern,
to Assemblyman Wyman and Assemblyman Harvey,
to Senator Rogers, and to the League of
California Cities.
