Dear Emily,
Enclosed please find two originals each of the Training Site Agreement for Fiscal Year 2022 between
the City of Meridian and the Ada County EMS District.
As a Training Center with the American Heart Association, it is our responsibility to have an agreement
in place with each Training Site aligned under the Ada County Paramedics. Please complete the section
on Page 4 as indicated with the pink flag.
Will you please have the originals signed and then return them to me? Once the Board of Ada County
Commissioners sign them in an Open Business meeting and the Ada County Clerk attest them, I will
return one completed original of each agreement to you.
Thank you for your help with this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
