1`� <br />Request for Council Action <br />Date: 06-1 2-00 <br />Item Number: F_2 <br />Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section <br />�� � <br />\�L� Reports/Recommendations <br />Item Description: Joint Powers Agreement foi Automatic Mutual Aid. <br />Background: In an effort to improve the staffing levels on the scenes of working fires <br />incidents (i.e. incidents where there is actually fire upon the arrival of the fire department),a <br />and thus improve the overall safety to firefighters and residents, the Fire Chief would like to <br />approach neighboring departments to establish mutually beneficial joint response districts. In <br />these districts, each community's fire department would receive automatic aid from <br />neighboring communities on working fires. This will improve the overall safety and staffing <br />during labor-intensive fire and rescue emergencies. <br />Policy Implications: Roseville and neighboring communities who choose to participate in <br />automatic aid would execute a Joint Powers Agreement that specifies the geographic <br />boundaries of the response districts. Each community who participates in automatic aid <br />would benefit from giving and receiving aid. <br />Financial: There will be a financial impact as the Roseville Fire Department is called to <br />provide automatic aid to neighboring communities (which we currently do not do). This would <br />entail an estimated 50 additional responses per year with an estimated financial impact of <br />$30,000. The additional personnel costs will be funded from the existing fvefighting <br />personnel budget. Since this is a new venture for the Roseville Fire Department, the actual <br />cost, as well as the actual benefits derived will not be known immediately. We will monitor the <br />cost and benefits of the program. Should the program be successful, we may require <br />additional funding for the program. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff recommendation is for council to authorize and encourage Joint <br />Powers Agre�r�'�ents with neighboring communities for the purpose of providing, and <br />receiving, automatic aid for fire and rescue emergencies and to see this as a cost effective <br />way to improve the safety of firefighters and citizens.. <br />Council A-tion Requested: Motion to authorize the City Manager and Fire Chief to negotiate <br />Joint Powars Agreements with neighboring communities for the purpose of providing, and <br />receiving, automatic aid for emergencies. <br />
