At all times, however, District shall listen to and be receptive of the voice of the County Hospital Board.

SECTION TWO

The Weisbrod Memorial County Hospital will be represented and present at the regularly scheduled monthly meetings of the District Hospital Board by members of the County Hospital Board, and the secretary of the County Hospital Board will be notified of each meeting date and will be furnished a copy of the minutes of each meeting.

SECTION FOUR

The District shall use reasonable efforts and care to staff the County Hospital and District Hospital operations with competent medical and other personnel and employees. All such medical and other personnel and employees shall retain the rights, privileges and immunities of, and shall be deemed to engage in the service and employment of the District (not the County).

SECTION FIVE

The District shall impose adequate and reasonable rates, fees, rents and charges against all patients for the use of facilities provided by the County Hospital, taking in account the cost of operating and maintaining the County Hospital.

SECTION SIX

SECTION EIGHT

The District shall pay all taxes and assessments or any other municipal or governmental charges, if any, lawfully levied or assessed upon it in respect of the County Hospital or upon any part thereof or upon any revenue there from, when the same shall become due, and shall duly observe and comply with all valid requirements of any governmental authority relative to any part of the County Hospital and shall not create or suffer to be created any lien or charge upon the County Hospital or any part thereof or upon revenues there from. The District shall pay or shall cause to be discharged or will make adequate provision to satisfy and to discharge, within sixty (60) days after the same shall become payable, all lawful claims and demands for labor, materials, supplies, or any other objects created or incurred by it, which if unpaid might by law become a lien upon the County Hospital or any part thereof or the revenue there from; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section Eight (8) shall require the District to pay or cause to be discharged or to make provision from any such lien or charge so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith and by the appropriate legal proceedings.

If any useful part of the County Hospital or District Hospital shall be damaged or destroyed, the District shall as expeditiously as may be possible commence and diligently prosecute the repair or replacement of the damaged property so as to restore the same to use. The proceeds of any insurance pertaining thereto shall be payable to the District and shall be applied as to the necessary costs involved in such repair and replacement, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be retained by the District. No provision of this paragraph shall be construed as imposing an obligation on the District to spend more on such repairs or replacements than the insurance proceeds.

The District shall at all times maintain with responsible insurers all such insurance as is reasonably required and obtainable within limits and at costs deemed reasonable by the District as is customarily maintained with respect to hospitals of like character, against public and other liability as is required to indemnify and to hold harmless the District and County against all liabilities, judgments, costs, damages, expenses, and attorneys' fees for loss, damage, or injury to persons or property resulting from the operation of the County Hospital caused by the negligence or willful acts of the District, District officers, employees, or any other agents.

Box 100, Eads, Colorado 81036, hereinafter called and referred to as “County”, and the BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE WEISBROD MEMORIAL COUNTY HOSPITAL whose address is 1208 Luther, Eads, Colorado 81036, hereinafter called and referred to as “Hospital”,

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, County owns and maintains various ambulances and related medical equipment contained therein, and

WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. 29-1-201, et. seq., it specifically allows any government including but not limited to counties and county hospitals to enter into intergovernmental agreements to cooperate or contract with one another to provide any function, service or facility lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contracting units,

1. County has deeded to Hospital for the usage, operation, and possession of four (4) of County’s ambulances, exclusive of a haz-mat ambulance, as of July, 2017.

2. As part of the consideration extended by County to Hospital, County agrees to allow Hospital to fuel these ambulances from the County shop pumps with the understanding that the Hospital shall reimburse County on a monthly basis at County’s costs for said fuel. Further, County, at no expense to Hospital shall service the ambulances for normal and routine maintenance with the understanding that the Hospital shall reimburse County for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred for parts and supplies including oil, filters, tires and the like to be billed to Hospital on a monthly basis at the County cost. Except for emergency repairs that would render the ambulance unsafe, the request by Hospital for the performance of minor maintenance will not take priority over other county projects but County shall perform said minor maintenance in a reasonable period of time.

3. Further, the Hospital shall hire a qualified director to bring the ambulance/EMT service up to standards as required by the State of Colorado. The County shall further assist Hospital in obtaining grant monies to operate such services or to procure ambulances.

a. The first part of funding shall consist of the monies received from the County Hospital Fund created for both Hospital and ambulance/EMT services, which both parties agree for the year 2020 to budget the sum of Two hundred thousand one hundred sixty eight dollars ($200,168). As long as this agreement is in effect, this provision shall replace the funding requirement within the existing Hospital Service Agreement between the County and the Hospital and supersede any other pre-existing agreements involving ambulance and/or EMT services. If this agreement is terminated then the funding provisions of the original Hospital Service Agreement will remain in effect.

b. The second part of the ambulance/EMT service funding shall consist of all EMS subsidy fund monies received which amount both parties anticipate shall approximate the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). These monies shall be spent in accordance to the provisions and terms of the fund.

c. Both parties further agree to re-evaluate aforementioned manner of funding in the event there is a material change in assessed valuation or the EMS subsidy grant or profit and/or loss of operating the Ambulance/EMT Service.

d. County shall remit the above funds as they become available and requested by the Hospital throughout the year to sustain the operation and maintenance of the ambulance/EMT service but in no event shall County be responsible for remitting additional sums to Hospital in excess of those monies actually generated by the County through levy, grant, fund balance or otherwise.

6. At such time that the Hospital assumes full operation of the Ambulance/EMS service the Hospital shall furnish all drivers, EMTs and physicians necessary to properly and adequately operate said ambulance/EMT service within the County of Kiowa, State of Colorado and shall bear all expenses involved in training and maintaining said personnel. Further, County Hospital shall provide workers’ compensation and liability insurance covering the EMTs and drivers as well as the operation of the ambulance/EMT services.

7. Hospital further agrees to comply with all federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, and resolutions involved in operations of an ambulance/EMT service.

8. Hospital shall furnish to County annual financial reports prepared according to generally accepted accounting procedures.

9. Hospital agrees to furnish to County any costs associated with the use of EMS Ambulance and EMS Ambulance Personnel during the Kiowa County Fair.
