RECOMMENDATION
Approve IGA with City of Phoenix and providing authorization and direction to take actions and execute documents necessary to carry out the intent of the agreement. (Paul Luizzi, Fire Chief)
STIPULATIONS
In the event of loss or damage to the loaned apparatus, City of Goodyear shall be responsible, at the City’s option, to either (a) replace the same in good repair, condition or working order, (b) replace the same with like equipment in good repair, condition and working order, or (c) pay to the City of Phoenix the replacement costs of the loaned equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Goodyear Fire department will be responsible for all operating costs of the loaned equipment for the duration of the occurrence, which may include fuel, oil, licenses, municipal licenses, and inspection fees (if applicable). The department will absorb costs within the normal budget.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The Goodyear Fire department is an active participant in the IGA Regional Metropolitan Phoenix Fire Service Automatic Aid agreement CON17-6221, which states the purpose of the agreement is to provide highly efficient, effective, and mutually beneficial relationship among multiple regional jurisdictions to provide for the overall public safety of the region.
STAFF ANALYSIS
While borrowing emergency apparatus from Phoenix will be a rare event, it allows Goodyear the flexibility, if we have used all our spare apparatus, to have a backup plan to ensure that our fire department is response ready. This IGA with the City of Phoenix (Attachment A) will provide additional apparatus resources when needed. This agreement supports ongoing collaboration between the Phoenix Fire department and the Goodyear Fire department. The Goodyear Fire department has been part of the Metro Phoenix Automatic Aid Consortium since 1999. The delivery of fire protection, special operations, and emergency medical services in the Valley is a model for intergovernmental cooperation, efficiency, and customer service.
