Duke Moroz, Medical Officer for the Fire Department, and I have been discussing
the need to again renew the above referenced contract [copy attached], which
expires as of December 31, 1998.
Duke had intended to make some changes to the contract language; however, he
now feels that additional changes will not be necessary. He has asked if it would
be possible to enter into a contract that is not limited to one year. Would you
agree to rewrite the contract for an extended period of time, with a termination
clause incorporated into the contract?
Again, because the dollar value of the contract is $500 per month, it is intended
to obtain the City Manager's signature on the contract. Thanks for your help!

TO: Dave Chastain, Fire Department Medical Officer
FROM: Becky J. Upton, City Clerk/Management Assistant
SUBJECT: EMS Contract
Duke Moroz and I have been discussing the need to again renew the above
referenced contract which expires as of December 31, 1998. Duke had asked if
it would be possible to enter into a contract that is not limited to one year. So, I
asked the City Attorney to rewrite the contract for an extended period of time,
with a termination clause incorporated into the contract.
Attached for your review is the proposed contract (you may wish to have Duke
review the contract as well). You will see that Craig wrote the contract for a 10-
year period, and he inserted a provision allowing either party to terminate by
giving 90 days written notice to the other party.
With the hope that the contract language is acceptable to you, I am attaching two
copies for signature by the President and Secretary of the EMS Council. Please
obtain the signatures of both individuals and return them to my attention. I can
then proceed to obtain the City Manager's signature.
Please let me know if you have any suggested changes! Thanks for your help!

SUBJECT: Contract with Clallam County Emergency Medical Services/

Duke Moroz, Medical Officer for the Fire Department, and I have been discussing
the need to again renew the above referenced contract [copy attached], which
expires as of December 31, 1998.
Duke had intended to make some changes to the contract language; however, he
now feels that additional changes will not be necessary. He has asked if it would
be possible to enter into a contract that is not limited to one year. Would you
agree to rewrite the contract for an extended period of time, with a termination
clause incorporated into the contract?
Again, because the dollar value of the contract is $500 per month, it is intended
to obtain the City Manager's signature on the contract. Thanks for your help!

Duke Moroz, Medical Officer for the Fire Department, and I were just discussing the
fact that the above referenced contract [copy attached] expired as of December 31,
1997. Because the contract allows for an extension, Duke has asked that you prepare
an extension through December 31, 1998. Also, because the dollar value of the contract
is $500 per month, could we have Jack Pittis sign the extension as Interim City Manager
as opposed to taking it to City Council?
In reviewing the contract language, Duke indicated he would like to strengthen future
contracts. He was comfortable with our extension of the 1997 contract as written;
however, he indicated it is likely he will be making recommendations for changes for the
1999 contract. I suggested that he take a photocopy of the contract and write in the
changes he would like to have made. Those proposed changes can then be forwarded
to you at a later date.
Thank you for your assistance.
