RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt a Resolution to Withdrawal and Termination
from the Joint and Cooperative Agreement for Use of Personnel and Equipment during
Emergencies Regional Mutual Aid Association.
BACKGROUND:
In 1984, the City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with numerous other cities in the Metropolitan
area to provide mutual aid assistance for Public Works equipment. State laws have subsequently changed,
making this Joint Powers Agreement unnecessary. Our insurance carrier, the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust (LMQT), is recommending that we terminate this Joint Powers Agreement.
The attached resolution officially withdraws the City of Rosemount from this Joint Powers Agreement.
The City can still provide mutual aid to other cities without the formality of a Joint Powers Agreement.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution.
