AREA OF MUTUAL DISPATCH PROTOCOL
Third Amendment to Morgan/Weld Intergovernmental Agreement
Regarding mutual aid for emergency medical services
This Third Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement entered into between the County of
Morgan, Colorado and the County of Weld, Colorado, dated December 20, 1994 (the
"Intergovernmental Agreement"), hereby replaces the(First) and (Second) Amendment to
Morgan/Weld Intergovernmental Agreement regarding mutual ambulance aid, attached to and
incorporated into the Intergovernmental Agreement, and the parties agree to the following:
L The Weld County Regional Communication Center("Weld County Dispatch") will
dispatch Weld County Paramedic Service to all pre-hospital medical calls in eastern
Weld County.
2. Weld County Dispatch will contact the Morgan County Dispatch Center for emergency
medical and trauma calls occurring within the following boundaries when requested by
responding Weld County emergency personnel for mutual aid of emergency services:
North on a line equal to the East right-of-way of Weld County Road 91 from the Adams
County boundary to State Highway 14 (Weld County Road 90), and then east on a line
equal to the North right-of-way of Colorado Highway 14 (Weld County Road 90) to the
Logan County boundary.
For clarification, the parties agree that Mile Marker 57 (MM 57) on Interstate Highway
76 shall constitute the intended boundary that comports with the above boundary
description for purposes of mutual aid response.
These boundaries may be extended at the discretion of county officials.
3. Morgan County Ambulance Service will respond units upon request when units and
personnel are available. If unavailable, Morgan County Dispatch will inform Weld
County Dispatch of such. Upon Morgan County Ambulance Service response, it shall be
Morgan County Dispatch Center's responsibility to advise the Weld County Regional
Dispatch Center of the following information:
a. The number of MCAS units responding, their identifying numbers and whether or not
the response is ALS or BLS (e.g., "Morgan County Ambulance 740 is responding with
ALS.").
b. Estimated time of arrival from ambulance personnel.
4. If Morgan County Ambulance Service ALS units are dispatched and arrive on scene prior
to Weld County Paramedic Services units, they will assume command of the scene by
triaging, treating and transporting patient to appropriate facilities. If Morgan County
Ambulance Service BLS units are dispatched and arrive on scene prior to Weld County
Paramedic Services units, they will assess and triage the scene, initiate any necessary
treatment, and relay this information to the responding Weld County Paramedic Services
2008-0184
unit. The parties acknowledge that regardless which emergency medical service first
arrives on scene, the EMS service shall interact with and be subject to incident command.
5. It shall be at the discretion of the Weld County Paramedic Services unit as to whether or
not they continue their response if a cancellation is suggested by the Morgan County
Ambulance Service. Morgan County Ambulance Service BLS units will remain on scene
until released by the Weld County Paramedic Services unit.
6. Requests for additional responders, i.e., helicopters, ambulance, fire, etc., will be at the
discretion of the responding units through their respective communication, or dispatch,
centers, and subject to the discretion of incident command, if incident command is on
scene. For helicopter requests, Morgan County will first contact Airlife of Greeley. If
Airlife of Greeley is not available, Morgan County will then request, in the following
order, Airlife of Denver(PSL), followed by Flight for Life Denver. Airlife of
Scottsbluff should be considered following Airlife of Greeley for requests Northeast of
Morgan County. (NOTE: Questionable weather should be relayed to the flight service.
Response will be at the discretion of the flight crew.) Upon request by the responding
agency units, the dispatch center contacted by the responding agency units will
immediately contact the appropriate additional agency requested for mutual aid, followed
by an update to all dispatch centers involved with the call.
7. For all radio communications made pursuant to this Agreement, the parties shall use their
best efforts to use MAC 6 radio channel. If MAC 6 is not available, the parties will use
MAC 8 or a different radio channel that has been designated for such use by incident
command.
8. The terms and conditions contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement dated December
20, 1994 shall remain in full force and effect. This Third Amendment to the
Intergovernmental Agreement shall replace only the (First) and (Second) "Amendment to
the Intergovernmental Agreement regarding mutual ambulance aid." In the event any
term or provision in the Intergovernmental Agreement conflicts with any term or
provision in this Third Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement, this Third
Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement shall prevail.
