WS — Item 6 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 6 <br />Date: December 1, 2014 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Public Safety Director John Swenson <br />Re: Anoka County Fire Protection Council - Joint Powers Agreement <br />Background <br />The Anoka County Fire Protection Council (ACFPC) is made up of fire organizations <br />from Anoka County. The ACFPC has operated under bylaws, but with no formal Joint <br />Powers Agreement (JPA). The ACFPC must now have a JPA between member cities in <br />order to become a legal entity with the ability to enter into legal contracts. <br />The ability of the ACFPC to become a legal entity and enter into contracts is necessary <br />for the implementation of the Anoka County Public Safety Data System. As part of the <br />Anoka County Public Safety Data System, the ACFPA must enter into contract with the <br />vendor, FDM, for the fire records management system. <br />By entering into the JPA, the City of Lino Lakes would have full membership in the <br />ACFPC. Staff will discuss this further with the Council during the work session. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />A resolution authorizing the City's enrollment in the ACFPC JPA will be included on the <br />December 8, 2014 Council agenda. <br />
