Title
Resolution authorizing the cancellation of seven Milwaukee Fire Department invoices in the total amount of $588,745.05 relative to services provided between 1990 and 1999.

 
Analysis
This resolution authorizes cancellation of Milwaukee Fire Department Invoice Nos. 32926, 32928, 42470, 45240, 44379, 44399, and 48515 relative to various services provided.  These invoices were issued during the period of 1990-1999, and have an outstanding claim value of $588,745.05.    Due to invoice age and prior attempts for collection, the department has deemed these invoices as uncollectible and requests their cancellation.

 
Body
Whereas, Invoice No. 32926 is related to the department’s April 10, 1990 response to an alarm at 4267 N. Port Washington Road (Harris Lumber) billed to the City of Glendale totaling $34,133.00; and

Whereas, Invoice No. 32928 is related to the department’s February 2, 1991 response to an alarm at 4350 N 94^th Street billed to the City of Wauwatosa totaling $25,333.00; and

Whereas, Invoice Nos. 32926 and 32928 were billed under prior municipal service reciprocal agreements that have since been voided by the State-wide implementation of the Mutual Aided Box Alarm System (MABAS), and are longer deemed collectable; and

Whereas, Invoice No. 42470 is related to costs incurred from the 1996 reclassification of the department’s Paramedic Officers under the Milwaukee County Paramedic program totaling $181,721.18; and

Whereas, Milwaukee County will not reimburse these costs since they were not included as a component of the 1993-1995 contract period and the department has exhausted attempts to be reimbursed for Invoice No. 42470; and

Whereas, Invoice No. 45240 is related to a motor vehicle accident on January 29, 1997 and the repair costs to a fire department apparatus billed to Linda and Edward Barnes totaling $96,333.00; and 

Whereas, The City was found 100% liable in this accident and a settlement was reached with Linda and Edward Barnes voiding Invoice No. 45240; and

Whereas, Invoice Nos. 44399 and 44379 are related to the department’s March 10, 1997 response to an alarm at 9168 N. 124^th Street billed to American Recovery totaling $245,978.41; and

Whereas, Invoice No. 48515 is related to a motor vehicle accident on July 28,1999 and the repair costs to a fire department apparatus billed to Juan and Amelia Hernandez totaling $5,246.46; and 

Whereas, The Milwaukee Fire Department has exhausted all collection efforts regarding Invoice Nos. 44399, 44379 and 48515 and has deemed that they are uncollectible; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the following claims be cancelled in the total amount of $588,745.05:
