TITLE:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve an IGA amendment extending the term of the IGA between the Lockett Ranches Fire District and the City of Flagstaff.
Policy Decision or Reason for Action:
The City of Flagstaff has entered into an IGA with Lockett Ranches Fire District (District) for the provision of fire/medical/rescue services. As provided for in the current IGA, the District has requested an extension of the term of the IGA. The IGA provides general fund revenue for the City of Flagstaff in return for fire/rescue/medical services to the District. The District receives a level of service that would be difficult to attain given its smaller size and Flagstaff receives equitable reimbursement for service without the necessity of adding staffing or equipment.
Financial Impact:
The financial terms provided for in the amendment to the IGA are in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Flagstaff City Code. The base contract rate for the 5 year extension is $ 166,760.93 annually. The rate will be modified in years 2-5 with the Consumer Price Index. Not withstanding the application of the CPI, the general fund impact of the IGA is $ 833,804.65.
