Item No: 08B Meeting Date: April 10, 2017 Type of Business: Consent City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8744, Authorizing the Dissolution of the Fire Training Association Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) Introduction: In 1991, the cities of Fridley, Brooklyn Center, Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View entered into a joint powers agreement (JPA) to form a Fire Training Association. The purpose of this JPA was to jointly construct, use and maintain a fire training facility. The facility is currently located on the former Columbia Arena site in Fridley. Discussion: As the Council may be aware, the former Columbia Arena site in Fridley is being redeveloped and the facility’s location on that site conflicts with that redevelopment. Instead of relocating the fire training facility, the member departments (SBM, Brooklyn Center and Fridley Fire Departments) have decided that there is no longer a need for the fire training facility and that the JPA and the lease agreement for the fire training facility should be terminated. SBM has, under direction of legal counsel, secured insurance that will cover any liability for the Association until the buildings have been removed and the assets distributed as outlined in the JPA. The attached resolution authorizes dissolution of the JPA and termination of the lease and authorizes the Mayor and Administrator to sign any documents associated with the JPA dissolution and lease termination. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8744, a resolution authorizing the dissolution of the Fire Training Association Joint Powers Agreement. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ James Ericson City Administrator
