The increases are in the 7°o to 7.5% range (with the exception of the mileage charge which would move from $7.00 to $8.60, an increase of 23%) , and are consistent with the County -wide nu&run rate schedule approved by the Board of Supervisors in September, 1987.

The City Code provides that the City Council "reserves the right to finally determine and fix by resolution, the rates to be charged by the operator of the ambulance service."
