'Esta6{isfied .1857 MEMO DATE: January 23, 2002 TO: Mayor and Council Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator [UtL0 FROM: RE: Mutual Aid Agreement for the Provision of Emergency Public Works Assistance Between the Cities of Centerville, Hugo and Lino Lakes ............................................................................ This issue was before the City Council at the March 8, 2000 Council meeting and the Council at the time voted to table the matter. In a recent telephone conversation with Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator from Lino Lakes, told me that the City Council of Lino Lakes had approved the original Mutual Aid Agreement between the cities of Centerville, Hugo and Lino Lakes two years ago for the provision of emergency public works assistance. Ms. Waite Smith indicated that the Lino Lakes City Council are still supportive of this agreement and have it continuing interest in working with the cities of Hugo and Centerville on this agreement. Mike Ericson, City Administrator for the City of Hugo, indicated that Hugo also continues to be interested in this agreement. Mr. Ericson is looking through their records to determine if the Council at the time also formally approved the agreement. In discussing this with the Public Works Director, I learned that the three cities already have an informal agreement to assist each other in the event of an emergency. FormaIizing this agreement however, would provide each city several levels of protection, including staff coverage for water and sewer issues, payment for costs incurred by the assisting city(ies), and similar insurance coverages.
