MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC <br />FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR <br />DATE: MAY 20, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: DISPATCH OF CITY EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL IN <br />EMERGENCY SITUATIONS <br />Attached please find a letter and sample resolution from the <br />City of St. Louis Park regarding the dispatching of <br />municipal equipment and personnel to requesting cities <br />during emergency situations. <br />Although the City of Mounds View does have a mutual aid <br />agreement with many cities in Ramsey County for dispatch of <br />equipment during emergency situations by the City's Civil <br />Defense Director, the City has no policy regarding the <br />dispatch of equipment and personnel to other cities when <br />similar circumstances exist. Such a policy statement in the <br />form of a resolution such as that provided by the City of <br />St. Louis Park would seem to be both reasonable and <br />appropriate in order that we might be able to respond to <br />other cities' requests for emergency assistance in a timely <br />fashion when Council Meetings cannot be called in a manner <br />that would allow our prompt response to the request. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council authorize <br />preparation of a resolution for adoption by consent agenda <br />at your next regular meeting authorizing the dispatch and <br />use of city equipment and personnel by the Clerk -Administra- <br />tor or his designee in emergency situations. <br />DFP/mjs <br />Attachment: <br />
