Action Requested:
Motion
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the City of San Luis entering into the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact with the State of Arizona, the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, and all political jurisdictions within the State of Arizona including the Cocopah Indian Tribe and Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe which are parties to the Compact. (Richard Jessup, Chief of Police)
SUMMARY:
As a requirement for standards associated with the Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, and in order to be accredited by the Commission, San Luis must have a mutual aid agreement with the local Indian Tribes, the Cocopah Indian Tribe and the Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe. Fortunately, the State of Arizona has already created a mutual aid agreement, in the attached compact. So, San Luis can become a signatory to the compact and have a mutual aid agreement with both tribes without creating separate agreements from scratch. In addition to helping with the law enforcement accreditation, the tribes and San Luis can officially be of mutual aid to each other in times of emergency. The Compact also respects as authority the San Luis Emergency Plan that City Council recently adopted.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ARIZONA MUTUAL AID COMPACT AS PRESENTED.
