| | | | | | | | | FROM: | Mike Nelson, Fire Chief | | TO: | Mayor and Council Members |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | Subject:
Approve the Scott County Fire Service and Equipment Mutual Aid Agreement. | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a modification to clarify language, terminology, and response expectations in the Scott County Fire Service and Equipment Mutual Aid Agreement. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Approval as requested. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The City of Shakopee has had an existing Joint and Cooperative Agreement for the Use of Fire Personnel and Equipment with the cities and communities within Scott County since 2004. The existing agreement lacks details to identify apparatus capabilities and expectations necessary for creating a consistent and reliable response to safely and effectively mitigate incidents.
The updated agreement establishes an expectation for the shared services that cities within Scott County can provide each other. These agreement updates allow cities requesting mutual aid to receive apparatus that are appropriately equipped with minimum staffing levels to support safe and effective operations. | | |
