West, Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />December 11, 2000 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Use of City Equipment <br />and Services in Emergency Situations <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The attached resolution represents the use of city equipment and services in <br />an emergency situation. Many times in the past, incidents have occurred <br />outside the territorial limits of the city where services have been dispatched <br />to assist other communities. This resolution is formally authorizing the city <br />administrator or his/her designee to dispatch city equipment and personnel <br />as deemed necessary within or outside of city boundaries. <br /> <br />The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires all <br />communities to have a formal resolution authorizing the use of city <br />equipment in emergency situations. This resolution simply formalizes a <br />practice that has occurred in the past in anticipation of instances in the <br />future where city equipment may be needed outside of our city limits. <br /> <br />I will be in attendance at the December 11, 2000, City Council meeting to <br />address any questions the mayor and council may have in regard to this <br />Issue. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />City Council adoption of the attached Resolution Granting the City <br />Administrator the Authority to Dispatch City Equipment and Personnel in <br />Emergency Situations. <br /> <br />. s:\council\eocgrnt2.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway.
