2) Authorize the Chair to execute Amendment I to Agreement 3396, increasing the total not-to-exceed (NTE) $99,948.71 for a new total NTE of $219,948.71 for services and extending the term through December 31, 2024.

Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The County of El Dorado Board of Supervisors approved Agreement 3396 with NBS on December 18, 2018. Therefore, NBS currently provides Special Tax and Benefit Assessment consulting services that enable the EMS Division to place the County Service Area (CSA) 7 West Slope Special Tax, CSA 3 West Shore Special Tax, and CSA 3 South Shore Benefit Assessment on the annual tax roll. This Amendment to Agreement 3396 will continue those services for an additional 3 year term.
ALTERNATIVES
Should the Board decline to approve this recommendation, EMSA would need to find another means to place the CSA 7 West Slope and CSA 3 West Shore Special Taxes and CSA 3 South Shore Benefit Assessment on the annual tax roll; not doing so would result in a decrease in revenue that directly funds the Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport contracted services provided in these communities.
