The League of Minnesota Cities' attorneys wrote a template agreement for <br /> utilities/cities to sign to apply for this service. This agreement was brought to the Commission at <br /> the April meeting. It was requested to be brought back in May after legal counsel had a chance to <br /> review the document. <br /> DISCUSSION: <br /> The agreement has been looked over by legal counsel and has been slightly changed to be <br /> accurate for a utility and a commission. It is attached for the Commission's review along with a <br /> resolution. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Staff recommends the Commission approve the mutual aid agreement with MnWarn. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • Minnesota's Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network Mutual Aid Agreement <br /> • Resolution Authorizing the Governmental Unit to be a Party to Minnesota Water Agency <br /> Response Network(MnWARN) <br /> REnus <br /> POWERED At <br /> 3 Page 1 of I 'POWERED <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P -v. r. . o I S r. .r <br />
