Information
Agenda Item Text:
Adopt the State of Arizona Mutual Aid Compact Agreement with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to share resources as are available and needed including, but not limited to, fire, police, medical and health, environmental, communication, and transportation services in a state of emergency effective October 28, 2014 through October 28, 2024.
Background:
The Arizona Mutual Aid Compact (AZMAC) provides for state-wide mutual aid to support local jurisdictions address large-scale emergencies. This AZMAC replaces the existing compact adopted by Cochise County several years ago. The AZMAC has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, two signed originals of the AZMAC will be sent to the State for their signature. One copy signed by the State will be returned for our records. The new AZMAC will then be in effect.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the ability of Cochise County to obtain emergency response and recovery support from the State of Arizona will be greatly impeded.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
I will need two signed original copies sent to the State for their signature. One of those originals will be returned for our records.
