Consideration and Approval of Contract: 
Consideration to enter into the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact. (Enter into mutual aid agreement with other jurisdictions throughout the State of Arizona for responding to emergencies)

Approve the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact and authorize the Mayor to execute on behalf of the City of Flagstaff.

Participation in the AZMAC is recommended to predetermine the availability and deployment of mutual aid resources within the County and by virtue of County to County agreements in place, the state of Arizona.  The AZMAC is also the enabling mechanism by which reimbursement for response can be secured.  The City of Flagstaff with its unique and formidable risks associated with Wildland Fire and Wildland Fire Interface, (Not to exclude transportation and other risk categories) is likely to find itself in the position to request mutual aid resources on a large scale.  Participation in the widely accepted compact is recommended.

There is no financial impact to the City of Flagstaff for participating in the compact nor is there a commitment to incur financial impacts as a part of participation.

Effective governance.

No.

1) Enter into the Mutual Aid Contract

2) Not enter into the Mutual Aid Contract

The compact establishes authorities, procedures, and intent to participate in mutual aid responses beyond the scope of a local and regional jurisdiction's capabilities. The compact supports mutual aid response coordination from the local, the state, and federal governments. It is guided by the policies of the National Incident Management System and Arizona Revised Statutes. Similar to typical local mutual aid agreements, the AZMAC establishes methods and expectations that guide mutual aid activities. The elements include: common definitions; procedures for requesting mutual aid; reimbursement procedures; workman's compensation treatment and standard protections afforded to the participants.
