AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: November 17. 2004
Bulk Item: Yes X No _
Division: County Administrator
Department: Fire Rescue
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to Rescind Affiliation Agreement between the District
Board of Trustees ofBroward Community College (BCC) and the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida for Monroe County Fire Rescue (MCFR). The Agreement was approved by
the Board at the August 18, 2004 BOCC meeting.
ITEM BACKGROUND: An Affiliation Agreement was sought between MCFR and BCC to provide
a resource for a comprehensive learning experience for students from BCC within a clinical field
setting, for completion of the students' health-related program criteria. The program criteria required
students enrolled at BCC's Emergency Medical Services courses to complete a specified number of
supervised hours on a licensed ambulance. This Agreement would also accommodate two MCFR
firefighter EMTs who had been enrolled in BCC's paramedic course.
After approval at the August 18, 2004 BOCC meeting, it was learned that BCC was a political
subdivision of the State of Florida and participates in a program of self-insurance with other state
community colleges in the State of Florida. BCC wanted additional insurance language put into the
Agreement to reflect the aforementioned. At the direction of the County Attorney's Office, the original
Agreement approved at the August 18, 2004 meeting would have to be rescinded, and a new
Agreement would have to be drawn up with the new insurance language, and approved by the BOCC.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On August 18,2004 the Board approved and authorized
execution of an Affiliation Agreement between the District Board of Trustees of BCC and the Board of
County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida for MCFR.
