Resolution 16-069 a Resolution Authorizing the Mutual Aid Agreement to Provide for 18 <br />the Automatic Dispatch of the Closest Emergency Response Unit Regardless of 19 <br />Jurisdictional Boundaries 20 <br /> 21 <br />Fire Chief Mark Sitarz reviewed a new Mutual Aid Agreement for Closest Unit Dispatching is 22 <br />before Council this evening for consideration. This is the same setup as the “auto-aid” 23 <br />agreements with Columbia Heights and Fridley. Closest Unit Dispatching will automatically 24 <br />dispatch St. Anthony Fire to a confirmed structure fire in a pre-established area of New Brighton. 25 <br />This area covers the southwestern most portion of the City of New Brighton. There would be no 26 <br />additional cost for the City and this agreement would not replace any existing Mutual Aid 27 <br />Agreements. The other agencies participating in this agreement are: St. Paul, Roseville, Little 28 <br />Canada, Maplewood, Falcon Heights, North St. Paul, New Brighton, White Bear Lake, and Lake 29 <br />Johanna Fire Departments. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Councilmember Stille asked Chief Sitarz if this only covers a portion of New Brighton. Chief 32 <br />Sitarz stated a map has been created of the agreed upon area, noting resources from many cities 33 <br />were called in to help. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Mayor Faust stated this is no different than any mutual aid with another city. Mayor Faust asked 36 <br />about mutual aid when the bridge collapsed. Chief Sitarz explained details of that call. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Motion by Councilmember Brever, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve Resolution 39 <br />16-069 a Resolution Authorizing Mutual Aid Agreement for the Automatic Dispatch of the 40 <br />Closest Emergency Response Unit Regardless of Jurisdictional Boundaries. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Motion carried 5-0 43 <br /> 44 <br />C.
