TITLE:

Consideration and Approval of Contract: Amendment of Intergovernmental Agreement with Summit Fire and Medical District (SFMD)

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends amending the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Summit Fire and Medical District for Management Services to extend the agreement for a one year period.  The Amendment to the agreement is for a one year period however, if a new agreement is reached this amended agreement with the extension would terminate with the adoption of a new agreement.

Executive Summary:

The IGA for management services with the Summit Fire & Medical District ends at the end of this calendar year.  The Council Discussion on the future of the IGA and adoption of a new agreement is anticipated within 60 days however the IGA will expire prior to Council consideration.  The extension ensures that while the City is considering its desire to move forward with a new IGA, our partner, the SFMD has uninterrupted management services.  This extension will ensure that in no instance the SFMD will be without a Fire Chief.

Financial Impact:

The terms of the current IGA will continue. No new costs are incurred.

This IGA provides that Summit Fire District (SFD) will compensate the City of Flagstaff $72,500 annually in consideration of the management services provided by the City. This funding is then used to cover temporary promotion and acting costs as well as costs to cover daily staffing impacts.

Policy Impact:

No Change.
