CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 4A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br />MEETING DATE: December 15, 2014 <br />TOPIC: Approval of Resolution 14-155, Authorizing Participation in the <br />Anoka County Fire Protection Council Joint Powers Agreement <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Anoka County Fire Protection Council (ACFPC) is made up of fire organizations from <br />Anoka County. The ACFPC has operated under bylaws but with no formal Joint Powers <br />Agreement (JPA). The ACFPC must now have a JPA between member cities in order to <br />become a legal entity with the ability to enter into legal contracts. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The ability of the ACFPC to become a legal entity and enter into contracts is necessary for the <br />implementation of the Anoka County Public Safety Data System. As part of the Anoka County <br />Public Safety Data System, the ACFPA must enter into contract with the vendor, FDM, for the <br />fire records management system. <br />The City of Lino Lakes has been represented by the Centennial Fire District prior to the <br />execution of this JPA. By entering into the JPA, the City of Lino Lakes would have full <br />membership in the ACFPC. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 14-155, Authorizing Participation in the <br />Anoka County Fire Protection Council Joint Powers Agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Resolution 14-155 <br />
