Abstract
Action Requested:
Vote on a request to approve the license agreement with the Town of Cary for use of Cary Fire Station #8.
Introduction & Background: When Parkwood Fire Department was incorporated into the Durham County Fire Department it ceased providing emergency medical services to residents in this area. At the County’s request, FirstHealth of the Carolinas added an additional paramedic Quick Response Vehicle in September 2016 to provide service to the Parkwood area.
Discussion & Analysis: : The Town of Cary has the operating capacity for a QRV (Quick Response Vehicle) and its staff at its Fire Station #8 located at 408 Mills Park Drive in Cary. The license agreement will run from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021 and will automatically renew annually unless either party gives ninety days written notice of termination. The cost associated with the license agreement is based upon the operating expenses of the station in proportion to the number of staff that occupy it, and is reevaluated every three years.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Budgetary Impact: $2791.62 per fiscal year
Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve the license with the Town of Cary for use of Cary Fire Station #8
