RESOLUTION NO. 5445 
 
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHANDLER, 
ARIZONA, ADOPTING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF 
CHANDLER AND HONORHEALTH TO TRAIN PARAMEDIC STUDENTS 
TO MEET THEIR REQUIRED CLINICAL TRAINING ROTATIONS. 
 
WHEREAS, Chandler Fire Department (CFD) has conducted a paramedic training program in 
conjunction with Phoenix College for the last ten years and it certifies its own firefighters as 
paramedics through a rigorous 10 month course completed in-house; and 
 
WHEREAS, Chandler Fire Department is in the process of applying for accreditation from the 
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) for its in-house 
paramedic program; and  
 
WHEREAS, Chandler Fire Department desires to obtain accreditation because it will ensure that 
CFD’s paramedic students graduate from a quality program by ensuring that instructors possess 
adequate qualifications and academic credentials to teach; and accreditation protects the public 
by ensuring that paramedics are properly trained and are certified as possessing the minimum 
level of competency; and  
 
WHEREAS, HonorHealth has agreed to provide the requisite clinical training and education 
portion for paramedic students for those students to meet paramedic program requirements; and 
 
WHEREAS, the parties agree that the sole purpose of the agreements is to train paramedic 
students, and not to provide a service.  The parties are not business associates under the Health 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. 
  
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chandler, 
Arizona, as follows:  
 
Section 1.   
Adopts the Agreement attached hereto. 
 
Section 2.  
Authorizes and directs the City Manager, or designee, to perform all acts 
necessary to give effect to this Resolution.
