Resolution - Adopt a Resolution Approving a Tactical Mutual Aid Agree- ment with the New Brighton Department of Public Safety and the City of St. Anthony Police Department (Off Consent Agenda) Councilmember Roe sought clarification on the intent of the agreement, and con- sistency with the title, and whether it was for the tactical team or for any person- nel. City of Roseville Police Lieutenant Lorne Roland advised that this agreement ap- plied to the tactical team only; and that there was an agreement already in place for mutual aid responses. Mayor Klausing opined that the agreement read more like a mutual aid agree- ment, and questioned whether it would function as such. Lt. Roland responded affirmatively. Councilmember Kough cautioned, from his experience in1986 as Mayor of Aus- tin, MN, during the Hormel strikes that the Mayor be aware of the potential that his authority would be subordinated to that of the Ramsey County Sheriff's De- partment in certain circumstances. Mayor Klausing opined that, from his review of the document, as well as Minne- sota Statutes pertaining to mayoral authority and delegation; and noted that each party would designate an appropriate person to make a request or to respond. City Attorney Scott Anderson recommended, that since this agreement was rec- ognized as a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) under State Statute, that the motion be changed to authorize the Police Chief to sign the document; and the date of the agreement revised to indicate authorization granted by tonight's action.
