CITY, MISSOURI, a municipal corporation (hereinafter the "CITY"), and RIVERSIDE,
MISSOURI (hereinafter "Riverside").
RIVERSIDE is a Missouri political subdivision in proximity to the CITY and
desires to secure from the CITY advanced life support ambulance transport services. The
CITY has the equipment and personnel to render such service and is willing to do so
pursuant to Missouri law authorizing political subdivisions of the state to enter into

least one of whom will be certified and licensed by the State of Missouri as an
advanced life support provider and granted privileges in the KCFD system by the
CITY's medical director.
2) RIVERSIDE agrees that the CITY shall be the exclusive authorized response
entity for advanced life support ambulance transport services, provided however,
that RIVERSIDE may, in its sole discretion, direct dispatch of an air ambulance
provider if it determines that such use is warranted. If an air unit is requested, the
KCFD provider assuming care of the patient may, at his or her sole discretion,
cancel such unit and proceed with ground transport. No liability for the dispatch
of an air unit or its cancellation shall accrue to KCFD.

ambulance transport services in accordance with its established rates, which shall
