Process for Communications from Advisory Boards The process will be as follows: all newsletters and updates from our advisory boards that are intended to share progress on the activities of the boards for our neighbors, will be reviewed by all members of the participating advisory board. This will assure that the communication that goes out is a unified and productive message from the board as a whole. In addition, the Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem, and Deputy Mayor Pro-Tem will be provided the communication for final sign -off before its City-wide distribution. Staff will provide a third review prior if it is to be posted on the City's webpage and specifically on the board's dedicated page. This three -layered approach to review all advisory board communications, whether in the form of a newsletter or message, will promote a unified and consistent message for our community. This process -based solution will resolve any content -based issues. c.

This contract is a required step in the process of placing Anna Fire Department's new ambulance into service. A Medical Control physician must be in place before hospital transports can be conducted. This establishes the required services and also enables further EMS operations and expansion within the fire department. On 6/23/2020, the Anna City Council approved the purchase of a transport ambulance utilizing CARES ACT funding. Up -fitting and medical equipment costs for this vehicle required an additional $95,000 which was also approved by the City Council. These items included a patient stretcher, LifePak 15 resuscitation unit, communications equipment, Lucas CPR device, and other related EMS items. The fire department is currently working on licensing the ambulance with the State of Texas. The related billing agreement was approved at the previous Council meeting. This proposal is in alignment with the fire department's internal Strategic Plan and apparatus matrix which defines our services and needs through FY 2040.
