Executive Summary:
Coconino Community College (CCC) and the City have an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that allows the sharing of resources, such as the Flagstaff Fire Training Center and classroom facilities at CCC. The IGA is amended to improve resource sharing between the City and the CCC Fire and EMS program. The revisions allow for a more efficient management of shared resources and reduced expenses. Additionally, CCC agrees to replace the thermal insulation panels in the live burn rooms with the Flagstaff Fire Department on every other purchase. Other amendments include administrative updates to align with current and accurate terminology and clarification on the College’s Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Fill Station and Compressor.
Financial Impact:
Minimal annual maintenance of the breathing air station that we have been doing since 2015. In turn, this equipment is available for the Fire Department's use for working incidents, training, and regional academies.
Policy Impact:
None
Previous Council Decision or Community Discussion:
Yes, the council approved resolution numbers 2020-12 on 4/07/2020 and 2021-09 on 3/2/2021, which were the last two IGAs between CCC and the City.
