DEPARTMENT: Health  Emergency Medical Services

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

Approve and authorize the Director of Health to provide written consent to the change in

ownership of American Medical Response  West's AMR) parent company.

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

AMR, in accordance with Section 14.1 Attachment A) of their contract with Monterey County, is

required to obtain the consent of the County prior to assignment of any portion of the Agreement

for services between the County and AMR. A change in the controlling interest of AMR's direct

ownership or parent company) is considered a form of assignment under the Agreement.

planned acquisition of Emergency Medical Services Corporation EMSC), the ultimate parent

company of AMR, by Clayton, Dubilier, and Rice, LLC Attachment B). AMR has provided

information about the new parent company to Monterey County Attachment Q. The change in

ownership of AMR's parent company is not expected to impact AMR's operations in Monterey

County. Accordingly, the EMS Agency is requesting that the Board authorize the Director of

Health to provide consent to the change in ownership of AMR's parent company.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

County Counsel has reviewed the attached notice from AMR and found that it meets AMR's

obligation under Section 14.1 of the Agreement for services with Monterey County. Attachments

Re: Agreement to Provide Advanced Life Support Ambulance Service for the County of Monterey dated

January 1, 2010 Cons act") between County of Monterey and American Medical Response West

AMR")

Dear Mr. Leventon:

This letter is written to you as our valued customer and partner in providing healthcare services under our Contract.

We are pleased to inform you that our ultimate parent company, Emergency Medical Services Corporation the

Parent Company"), has recently signed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger to be acquired by affiliates of

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC C'CD&R"'), one of the world's leading private equity turns. More information about

CD&R is available on its mbsite at y w.cdr-inc.com.

When the contemplated transactions are completed as anticipated, our Parent Company will become a wholly-owned

subsidiary of an affiliate of CD&R, and will thereby cease to be a publicly traded company.

We are very excited about our Parent Company's proposed merger, but would also like to emphasize that this

transaction will not change the name and tax identification number of AMR, and is not expected to change the day-

to-day management or local operations of AMR. In addition, any security arrangements that may be in place for the

Contract  such as performance bonds and insurance commitments  will remain intact and unchanged by the

transaction. We look forward to continuing our relationship and honoring our commitments under the Contract, and

we will have a seasoned financial investor at our side in CD&R.

As always, please do not hesitate to address any general questions to our local General Manager, Doug Petrick, at

831.718.9561. Additionally, for any additional questions about the transactions with CD&R, feel free to contact our

in-house attorney, Walt Landen, at 303.495.1283.

Very truly yours,

AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONSE
