Of Agenda Item; .New Business-1 <br /> Status: Informational <br /> OV . <br /> April 19, 1985 <br /> Government Administrator <br /> Dear Sir: <br /> The City of St. Louis Park, through its Emergency Preparedness Director/ <br /> Fire Chief, is a member of the Metropolitan Emergency Managers Association <br /> (MEMA). A standing committee of that organization was charged with the <br /> responsibility of determining the most efficient way of providing assistance <br /> to each other in the event of a disaster. <br /> After about s.ix months of investigating the many different Mutual Aid Pacts <br /> (Police, Fire, and Public Works) , they determined that the most efficient <br /> '.-way to handle most requests for aid would be to leave the present Mutual Aid <br /> Pacts as:. they are.. <br /> In the event of a request for assistance which would involve several different <br /> departments, that request should ,be directed to the administrative branch <br /> of the Government. <br /> The Committee developed a resolution prototype, to be adopted by each <br /> municipality, that would authorize 'a City Administrator or his designee <br /> to send equipment and personnel to assist a stricken area, at their request, <br /> in the event of a disaster, with or without a formal Mutual Aid Pact. <br /> The City of St. Louis Park adopted this resolution on April 16, 1985. I <br /> am recommending it to you for your consideration for your community. If <br /> you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Chief John Kersey <br /> at 920-3000, ext. 56. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ames Brimeyer, City'.Manager <br /> City of St. Louis Park <br /> =5 minnetonks boulevard a st.buts parl4 minnesote 55416 • phone(613)920.3090 <br />
