RESOLUTION NO. 05 - 119
RESOLUTION PROMOTING THE USE OF INTRASTATE MUTUAL -AID AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, Chapter 12, Section 12.331 allows for Intrastate Mutual
Aid, and direct, timely assistance between
jurisdictions is critical; and
WHEREAS, the possibility of the occurrence of natural and other
disasters of major size and destructiveness exists and
is increasing; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to ensure that preparations of the City
of Lino Lakes will be adequate to deal with disasters;
generally protect the public peace, health, and safety;
and preserve the lives and property of the people of
the state; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide for the rendering of mutual
aid among the political subdivisions of the state and
to cooperate with the federal government with respect
to carrying out emergency management functions; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of Minnesota that all emergency
response functions of this state be coordinated to the
maximum extent with the comparable functions of the
state government, including its various departments and
agencies, of other states and localities, and of
private agencies of every type, to the end that the
most effective preparations and uses may be made of the
state's labor supply, resources, and facilities for
dealing with any disaster that may occur; and
WHEREAS, the director of each local organization for emergency
management may, in collaboration with other public and
private agencies within this state, develop or cause to
be developed mutual -aid arrangements for reciprocal
emergency management aid and assistance in an emergency
or disaster too great to be dealt with unassisted.
These arrangements must be consistent with the local
emergency operations plan and, in time of emergency,
each local organization for emergency management and
its members shall render assistance in accordance with
the provisions of the mutual -aid arrangements; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Lino Lakes
promotes the efficiency and effectiveness of intrastate mutual
aid by designating the Emergency Management Director or the
designee, who, exercising discretion and considering the needs of
the political subdivision and its inhabitants, to dispatch
equipment and personnel as considered necessary if a danger of
fire, hazard, casualty, or another similar occurrence exists
outside the political subdivision and by its suddenness it would
• be impractical for the governing body of City of Lino Lakes
itself to authorize the dispatch of e.. •ment and personnel to
combat that emergency or disaster. (!%
