in effect§ 6-104. - Accountability for funds received.
The City is not responsible for either the provision of services by EMSA, its operations contractor(s), any other supplemental service provider, or the EMSAcare Program. The City's responsibility is to properly receive, record and transfer the funds paid by the participating utility customers for EMSAcare benefits under the Medical Services Program, and provide EMS services pursuant to an applicable contract for special arrangements and supplemental service. The City shall be allowed to retain funds sufficient to cover those administrative/ banking costs necessary to provide administrative services to EMSA, which costs shall be negotiated pursuant to a contract between EMSA and the City. The City may, in its discretion, retain Program funds for a rate stabilization fund for the purpose of keeping the monthly Program cost charged to customers, at a consistent rate for as long as possible. Rate stabilization includes the use of Program funds by The City for the provision of emergency medical services approved in the City Budget and pursuant to a contract for special arrangements between EMSA and The City of Oklahoma City. Remittance of Program funds to EMSA, pursuant to its approved budget, shall have priority and shall not be detrimentally impacted by the dispersal of Program funds to the City for the provision of emergency medical services pursuant to any contract for special arrangements.
