DATE: Dept.Hd.
January 2, 1979 C.Atty. J.
DEPARTMENT: Fire C. Mgr.
Subject:
Agreement Between City of Carlsbad and the Regents
of the University of California, San Diego Campus,
for Paramedic Training.
Statement of the Matter
In anticipation of sending one of our people to the
University for paramedic training in January of 1979,
it is necessary that we enter into an agreement with
the University for this training.
In the past the cost for the paramedic training was
supported by San Diego County through a Federal Grant,
which expired in November of 1977.
As these funds are no longer available, the County of
San Diego no longer contracts with the University for
paramedic training.
F
Therefore, it is necessary for each agency to sign an
agreement with the University.
The agreement covers a five month period from January
11, 1979 through June 30, 1979 and calls for $675.00
per student. The agreement also calls for certain
liability and professional mal-practice insurance to
be provided by the City. The agreement also covers,
in detail, the course of instruction to be given.

CARLSBAD FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY MANAGER DATE: 12-27-78
FROM: FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: Paramedic Training
This is a request to send one firefighter to paramedic
training starting on January 11, 1979, and running through
June, 1979.
During the next six months we will have two captains eligi-
ble for retirement. One is a mandatory age retirement and
the other has indicated to me he will be requesting retire-
ment when eligible.
In planning for these possible vacancies the department
recently conducted a Captains examination to establish a
promotional list, of which three qualifying candidates are
paramedics.
No decision has been made as to selection for promotion;
however, with the possibility of a paramedic being promoted
or the possibility of someone not wishing to recertify this
year as a paramedic, I feel we should have an additional
firefighter trained for backup.
I have tentatively made a reservation for one of our people
to attend paramedic training starting in January, 1979. The
next class does not start until April of 1979 and would not
meet the needs of the department.
