Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration

Department and the Whitby/Bowmanville Ambulance Service be prepared
containing terms satisfactory to both parties; and
4.) THAT the Owner/Operator, Mr. William Cocker, of Whitby/Bowmanville
Ambulance Service be advised of Council's decision.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 On June 25th John Visser, Supervisor with Whitby/Bowmanville Ambulance
Service met with staff and advised that the Bowmanville ambulance station was
to undergo major expansion. He advised that the ambulance staff at the station
would have to relocate for two months while the work was undertaken.
1.2 In an attempt to address the relocation a proposal was made to have the
ambulance relocate to the Fire Department Headquarters during the construction.
This would only be possible if it could be done wfthout disrupting the daily
operations at the station given the fact that it is our administration centre as well
as a functioning fire station.

2. REPORT
-2-
2.1 We discussed the possibility of accommodating ambulance staff and equipment
at length. The Bowmanville Ambulance Station has four staff members working
from 0700 - 1900 hrs. each day and two staff members working from 1900 - 0700
hrs. each day. We would also be required to accommodate two ambulance
vehicles.
2.2 Staff advised Mr. Visser that we would certainly accommodate Bowmanville
Ambulance Station but this would only be possible if ft could be done without
disrupting the daily operations of the fire station which includes the fire
department administration centre. Approval of Council would also be required as
well as some form of lease agreement between the two parties.
2.3 A formal request was received on June 27, 1996 from the Bowmanville
Ambulance Service [copy attached]. The proposal included an offer of rent for the
space to be occupied by the staff of the ambulance service and storage of their
vehicles.
2.4 If this type of arrangement is agreeable to Council, the Bowmanville Ambulance
Station would need to relocate during the week of July 8, 1996.

Dear Sir,
RE: TEMPORARY
JUI~ 2 71996
27th June 1996.
i am in the process of expanding the ambulance base on St. George
Street. Bowmanville, and am expecting construction to start within
the next two weeks. I am looking for temporary accomodation to
provide ambulance service to the Municipality of Clarington for a
period of two months. i have considered using a trailer, but for
obvious reasons i feel it would not be suitable.
My supervisor, John Visser has been in contact with you and it
seems you may be able to assist my service. I have two vehicles to
accomodate. If you have a spare bay it would be ideal. We could
park in the parking lot if necessary. I am more concerned about
accomodatiog my crews than the vehicles.
If this meets the approval of council, would you please draw up a
temporary lease as to what you would expect in rent.
My crews would be responsible for keeping their facilities clean at
all times. I have four staff working from 0700 - 1900 hrs and two
staff working from 1900 - 0700 hrs each day.
If council is agreeable to provide the accomodation, I can meet
with you to work out the finer details.
I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours
William Cocker.,
Owner/Operator.
