Brinson, Administrative Services Manager, Fire Department SUBMITTED BY: Norton N. Bonaparte, Jr., ICMA-CM, City Manager SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement Between County And City And Cities Of Lake Mary, Longwood, And Oviedo; Opioid Litigation; Opioid Emergency Medical Services Payments For Services STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: ❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront ❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture ❑ Update Regulatory Framework ❑ Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities SYNOPSIS: Requesting to approve an Interlocal Agreement relating to opioid emergency medical services (EMS), and payments for such services. FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT: The proposed Interlocal Agreement would be between the City, Seminole County, the City of Lake Mary, the City of Longwood, and the City of Oviedo. The Interlocal Agreement provides for payments to the City for the treatment and transport by first responders (fire rescue/emergency medical services personnel) including use of specialized EMS protocols for overdose and acute withdrawal to minimize precipitating symptoms. The payments will be as follows - patient transfer to specialized care: ServiceUnit/Service Cost Basic Life Support (BLS) Service $650 Advanced Life Support (ALS) 1 Service $700 Advanced Life Support (ALS) 2 Service $800 Transport Mileage/Per Loaded Mile $10 BACKGROUND: Seminole County and the City have, as has the rest of the State and Nation, been adversely impacted by the manufacture, distribution and over -prescribing of opioid analgesics ("opioids"). The National crisis resulted in a sadly high number opioid -related deaths and hospitalizations. State and local governments across the nation bore a disproportionate share of the costs associated with responding to the National surge in opioid -related deaths and hospitalizations. Many governmental entities throughout the United States filed lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors and retailers to hold them accountable for the damage caused by their misfeasance, nonfeasance and malfeasance, as well as to recover monetary damages for past harm and financial compensation for ongoing and future abatement efforts. The County and the City deemed the opioid crisis significant enough to secure litigation counsel and individually elect to file suit against various defendants. Also, the Attorney General of the State of Florida guided an extensive effort directed toward obtaining compensation from the companies that caused the tragic National crisis. Consolidated with lawsuits filed by a multitude of state, tribal and local governmental entities into what was known as the National Prescription Opiate Litigation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, Case Number 1:17 -MD -2804. As a result of the litigation, the defendants negotiated settlements with tribal, state, and local government litigants. In January, 2022, pursuant to a Proposal Memorandum of Understanding which promulgated by the Florida Attorney General, the County executed an interlocal agreement with the seven cities of the County entitled "Interlocal Agreement Seminole County Regional Opioid Settlement Funds." As a result of that Interlocal Agreement, funds received by the parties were pooled in order to be targeted toward legally compliant projects and programs which benefit the public interest. The City continues to benefit from the overall expenditure of opioid litigation settlement funds as being centrally administered by the County. The County will ensure that all legal reporting and accounting requirements are adhered to with regard to the funds received. It has been determined to be desirable and in the public's best interest to appropriate a portion of the funds derived from the agreement by virtue of which settlement funds were pooled towards the City's opioid related EMS on a reimbursable basis at the rates outlined above. LEGAL REVIEW: The Assistant City Attorney has assisted in this matter and has no legal objection to the proposed action. It is the view of the Assistant City Attorney that the appropriate City Employee to issue invoices to the County would be the Fire Chief. RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends that the City Commission approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Fire Chief being the appropriate City Employee to issue invoices to the County. SUGGESTED MOTION: "I move to approve the Interlocal Agreement and staff authority, as proposed." Attachments: (1). Interlocal Agreement. (2). Exhibit to Interlocal Agreement/Scope of Work and Fee Schedule.
