RE: Authorize Fire Department to Enter into Agreements for Services in Support of
Private Entities and Events
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh Fire Department frequently receives requests for the provision of Fire,
Rescue, and EMS services in support of private events and enterprises. Previous Councils have
authorized the Department to provide those services on request without the need to
individually take each contract to Council for approval.
Fire Department staff along with staff from the City Attorney’s Office and Risk Management
recently reviewed and updated the current services contract used for the aforementioned
services and recommends that Council authorize the Fire Chief to recommend and the proper
city officials to execute agreements for the provision of Fire Inspection, Fire Services and EMS
services without additional Council approval.
ANALYSIS
Staff recommends that agreements for Fire, Rescue and EMS services containing terms
substantially the same as listed below be authorized for administrative approval.
The City of Oshkosh will bill for city personnel time and services according to
current City of Oshkosh fee schedules
The City of Oshkosh may bill persons receiving EMS services from City personnel
for services and transportation according to current City of Oshkosh fee schedules
The City of Oshkosh reserves the right to decline requests that may unreasonably
compromise service within the City of Oshkosh and/or endanger the residents of
the City of Oshkosh

equipment. Medical services will be billed to patients under the city’s typical billing method
and costs.
