Title
Substitute resolution authorizing the Fire Department to enter into an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Sharing and Operation of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Equipment and Materials with various area fire departments.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Fire Department to enter into an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Sharing and Operation of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Equipment and Materials with various area fire departments that replaces the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Sharing and Operation of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Equipment and Materials that was adopted with Common Council File #180396. This is in connection with the current Agreement for Mutual Assistance with various area fire departments adopted by Common Council Files #131646 and #200739.
Body
Whereas, Pursuant to Wis. State Secs. 66.0301 and 66.03125, various area fire departments desire to enter into an intergovernmental cooperation agreement to share fire, rescue, and emergency medical resources, including, but not limited to, vehicles, personnel, other materials, and related services, as mutually agreed to by the Parties, and there shall be no payment of use of equipment; and
Whereas, Each Department recognizes that sharing resources, including equipment and services, promotes cost effective and efficient use of public resources; and
Whereas, The Departments have specifically identified that sharing of fire fleet equipment will mutually benefit the communities they serve by reducing the amount of backup equipment required by each Department, allowing the Departments to share the strength and expertise maintained by their respective personnel; and
Whereas, The Departments desire to enter into this new Agreement that replaces the Agreement adopted with Common Council File #180396 to establish procedures for sharing equipment, materials, personnel, and related services, as well as for defining their relative rights and responsibilities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Fire Department is authorized to enter into this Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Sharing and Operation of Resources, a copy of which is attached to this file, with participating area fire departments for the Sharing and Operation of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Equipment and Materials with various area fire departments.; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are directed to execute the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for Sharing and Operation of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Equipment and Materials on behalf of the City.
