Nays: None. 8. Consider Items Removed from Consent d. Fire Department and Allina Health Emergency Medical Services Medical Direction and Oversight Agreement At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen briefly summarized this request as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated December 3, 2012. Councilmember McGehee opined that this seemed to be an open-ended contract in some ways, beyond a flat fee. Specifically, Councilmember McGehee noted that Exhibit B listed prices for a variety of other services during the term of the contract. Regarding the East Metro SWAT, Councilmember McGehee opined that this appeared to be a duplication of service. On page 4 of the contract, Councilmember McGehee questioned the hold harmless/indemnification clause related to "intentional misconduct" and asked for a City Attorney explanation of the rationale in including this language. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Attorney Mark Gaughan reviewed Items 11.a and b (Insurance) of the agreement, advising that the language was standard in this type of contract, and simply clarified that the City of Roseville was not re- sponsible for the acts of Allina personnel, and that Allina was not responsible for the acts of City personnel. At the request of Mayor Roe, Fire Chief Tim O'Neill addressed the "ala carte" services by Allina (listed on Exhibit B) that were optional training opportunities available to the City by Allina as needed and based on contract rates per fire- fighter cost for training. Chief O'Neill advised that, at this time, if was not pos- sible to determine how many firefighters would go through those training op- tions, or which training would be needed. Chief O'Neill clarified that all such training was included in the Department's training budget and would not request additional funding.
