For Meeting of: January 11, 2022 ITEM TITLE: Incident reimbursement fees by EF Recovery LLC SUBMITTED BY: Aaron Markham, Fire Chief SUMMARY EXPLANATION: This is a presentation of information regarding a Response Recovery Program that is available to provide cost recovery for certain selected incidents that the Yakima Fire Department responds to. ITEM BUDGETED: NA STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Public Safety APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL BY THE CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Upload Date Type Memo 1/3/2022 Corer Memo ID workflow 1/3/2022 Corer Memo steps 1/3/2022 Corer Memo ID sample 1/3/2022 Corer Memo 2 Irtit YAKIMA FIRE DEPARTMENT Administration 401 North Front Street Fire Suppression k� ri Yakima, Washington 98901 Fire Investigation n\r - Phone(509)575-6060 Fire Training tIRE DI$ Fax(509)576-6356 Fire Prevention www.yakimafire.com Special Operations MEMORANDUM December 29, 2021 To: Bob Harrison City Manager From: Aaron Markham Fire Chief Subject: EF Recovery Response Recovery Program This memo is to serve as a brief summary of the services that can be provided in the way of potential cost recovery for incidents that the Yakima Fire Department responds to. EF Recovery is based in Gig Harbor Washington and has been in business since 2006. They have experience and provide services in the field of EMS/Ambulance billing, IT Services, and Cost Recovery. Along with this memo is a step by step process that illustrates the steps that need to be taken to establish a response recovery program should the City of Yakima elect to do so. The first step in the process defines what is to be billed, who to bill, and how far do we pursue the collection of reimbursement from parties that incurred the expense. Step two would be to pass an ordinance authorizing the City of Yakima to bill for cost recovery pursuant to the program options the city has selected. A sample ordinance is attached from Riverside Fire and Rescue near Centralia, WA. Step three would be to enter into a professional services agreement with EF Recovery for professional services that covers how the program will work. This agreement includes the main contract, a Business Association Agreement covering HI PPA data privacy,and a letter authorizing them to be the City's cost recovery billing agent. After the agreements have been signed, EF Recovery will work with us to complete the onboarding process and provide our staff the necessary training. The training and setup fees are deducted from the first cost recovery revenues received. There are two fee options for their services. In both cases EFR's fees are layered on top of Yakima's incident response cost and billed to the responsible party or their insurance. With the Response Recovery program EF Recovery works on contingency and gets paid when Yakima gets paid. The standard service fee is 20% of our incident response cost being billed as assessed. The enhanced service is 22% of the incident cost, plus a $125 `claim assembly fee', as assessed. With both service levels the fire crews need to document the incident to support an insurance claim (e.g.: responsible party, insurance, property involved, thorough incident narrative, scene images if available). This documentation can be done simply using images taken by the fire crew at the scene with a free app that EF Recovery can provide. The difference between the standard service and enhanced is who enters the incident data into the EF Recovery web portal to submit the claim. The enhanced service has EF Recovery billers entering the incident response data from our Emergency Response System incident report We will provide all-risk emergency and non-emergency services to our community We are committed to serving with courage and compassion as stewards of public trust We shall leave a positive and genuine impact on all who call upon us 3 instead of Yakima personnel. There are no costs to the city when there are no incidents submitted for cost recovery. Lastly, attached is a sample document that illustrates how the workflow functions with regards to submitting the claim information to EF Recovery. Hugh Sutherland, with EF Recovery, is available to answer any questions that I may not have the immediate answer to.

Whereas, Responses to and/or recovery from minor and major emergencies and disasters requires purchases to replace supplies, periodic and scheduled maintenance on motorized apparatus, fuel purchases, replacement of supplies, personnel expenses, repair and/or replacement of protective clothing and equipment required by Riverside Fire Authority, OSHA, WISHA, NFPA and/or other associated guidance; and Whereas, RCW 4.24.314 authorizes fire protection departments and districts to recover reasonable and necessary costs incurred in the course of protecting life and property that exceed the normal and usual expenses anticipated. Riverside Fire Authority will affix a $250.00 minimum preparedness fee and response fee to all incidents where a liable party is responsible for said action provided that the liable party is not a resident within the Riverside Fire Authority in that case the preparedness fee will be waived. This fee will begin to offset (but is not limited to) consumables replacement, wear of equipment, overtime, fuel consumption, loss or damage to publicly owned equipment, purchase or lease of any special equipment or services required to protect the public during a hazardous incident or materials spill; and Whereas, Riverside Fire Authority believes that its taxpayers should not be required to subsidize the extraordinary costs of responding to hazardous materials incidents, regardless to size, and that such extraordinary costs should be charged to the spiller, liable party and/ or transporters and users of hazardous materials to reimburse Riverside Fire Authority and Whereas, Riverside Fire Authority has determined vehicle collisions frequently involve traffic control necessary to reduce further liability, damage or injury to non-involved parties. Standard response results in requiring placement of emergency flares, as well dealing with spillage or leakage of liquids, such as oil, battery acid, fuel, antifreeze, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and other petroleum-based products all of which constitute hazardous materials; and Whereas, Riverside Fire Authority must appoint those in oversight of recovering data pertinent to filing a claim for loss of time and supplies a reasonable administrative fee. This fee will be affixed to the total loss of the claim that shall be paid by the liable party causing said claim. . I • Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by approval of Riverside Fire Authority the F implementation of a cost recovery program pursuant to RCW 4.24.314. MOVED AND PASSED at a regular meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners for Regional Fire Protection Authority 1.
