The invo- cation was given by Councilman Nunn. The Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as read. The Mayor announced that comments were invited, along with any questions, at this public hearing concerning the 1975 Budg". There were none. The Mayor then advised that the Budget, as pro- posed, will be formally adopted at the regular Council meeting on September 17, 1974. James Rust appeared before the Council regarding the Continental Park Estates development inside the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction and advised that he would appear before the Planning & Zoning Commission at its next regular meeting with a final plat. Discussion was had concerning extension of water facilities, flooding and street standards. The Council was in agreement to allow Mr. Rust to clean out the creek bed and Mr. Rust stated he would not put in any more curb and gutter until he has a final plat approved and filed for record. It was then agreed--that the Council and Mr. Rust work out a "Community Facilities Agreement" at the next regular Council meeting, September 3, 1974. Ambulance service proposal was brought before the Council by Mr. Ben Waddel. It was pointed out that the City of Grapevine is presently contemplating its own ambulance service, to be oper- ated in connection with its Fire Department. It was proposed to offer Mr. Waddel the use of our Fire Station as his base in lieu of a contract or dollar subsidy. So moved Councilman Win- frey; seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously. The Resolutions pertaining to the Flood Insurance application were tabled to the next regular meeting September 3rd. Fire Department report was given by Mayor Booker in the absence of Councilman Knox. Chief Steele then addressed the Council advising that he, personally, was donating to the City for use in its Fire Department a boat and motor for rescue work, where- upon he handed to the City Secretary a paid invoice and title to the boat. Mayor Booker thanked him for his more than gener- ous donation. Chief Steele then asked Council permission to carry injured persons to the Grapevine hospital if necessary. The City Attorney informed the Council of the City's liability in such a matter. The Council agreed to study the problem. Water Department report by Councilman Davis was that there were no problems at present and that work would continue on Contin- ental.

Almost all cities have experienced an ambulance problem at one time or another as to who to call, can they c©me,and how long will it take? Some cities have been fortunate in that they had serveral companies to choose from. However, in the next year Fort Worth, Arlington, and Irving all have thier ambulance contracts coming ups There is a possability that these cities USE could tell their ambulance contractor that he oannot"contraet vehicles outside the city limits. Se there is a possability that your ambulance problem may become accute in the not to distant future. Since we all agree that something is going to havoto be done eventually lets look at municipal and private services. There are basicly three types of municipal services Police Dept., Fire Dept., and Ambulance Service Dept. Police Dept. ambulances would require two men per shift and generally would provide fast response provided the personnel are not tied up on another call. Two factors have to be eoncidered one whether the ambulance personnel will be patrolmen or civilains and vehicle life will be very short if it cruise the streets. Fire Dept. ambulances would require two men per shift and would also. provide fast response. Again whenever using daul purpose personnel there is the question of priorities. Ambulance Service Dept, would be similar to a private service in that the ambulance personnels' primary duties would be emergency care and transportation. SECURITY AMBULANCE SERVICE "PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION " As you know Law Enforcement and Firefighting are professions of thier own, just ask a police officer or firefighter. In the last few years it has been the "in" thing for fire depts because the Fire Chief needed more men, it is good "PR"A and it gage the firemen a chance to get a raise and a little easier duty. Except in a few cases police-fire consolidation has not worked or was rejected as impratical., and the sane holds true for ambulance service. It does not make names to take a firofighter with two years experience and train his for ambulance work. Ambulance service is fast becoming a profession resopized in the medial field. By nature ambulance service is a medical specialty. At an emergency scene everyone has their job to perform; Patrolman to direct traffic and investigate, Firefighter to fight or prevent fire and provide rescue if needed, and Ambulance personnel to provide emergency care and transportation. All personnel need to know first aid and light rescue techaques. It is mot economically or practical for each city to purchase ambulances and hire and train personnel, Of course I agree with many that this should be done by the county, but when will it ever happen? In information that I submitted earlier I momtioned providing ambulance service to the northeast cities based on city sales tax income. I have finely received the data from the state comptrollers office to provide accurate costs. Im every city except Richlea d Hills the sales tax income has increased by 10% or more annually which would more than provide the subsidy needed by each city to contract jointly for ambulance service. If approved subsidy would start in October (74-75 year) limited service would begin as soon as 80% of the cities sign contracts.
