City Council Memorandum Fire Memo No.

From:
Subject:
Resolution No. 5592 State of Arizona Mutual Aid Compact
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve Resolution No. 5592, authorizing the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact by and among the signatory political jurisdictions with the State of Arizona and Arizona Department of Emergency Affairs for providing mutual aid assistance during an emergency.
Background:
All political jurisdictions within the State of Arizona must prepare for the possibility of an emergency or disaster that would necessitate internal resources and may require the assistance of other jurisdictions. It is during these events that emergency resources of political subdivisions, municipal corporations, tribes, and other public agencies should be made mutually available to respond to such emergencies. Each of the jurisdictions may assist one another when such emergencies occur by providing resources that are available and needed including, but not limited to, fire, police, medical and health, environmental, communication, and transportation services to respond to the incident.
A compact was executed in 2010 for the exchange of such mutual aid, detailing the manner of financing such cooperative responses in advance of an emergency. The attached Mutual Aid Compact is a revision and enhancement of the current compact which establishes the procedures to notify the parties of the need for emergency assistance, identifies available resources for emergency responses, and provides a mechanism for compensation to the providing party.
The Arizona Mutual Aid Compact defines the emergency management terms and procedures which will be used among participating political jurisdictions within the State of Arizona for dispatching mutual aid assistance to any affected area in accordance with local ordinances, resolutions, emergency plans, or agreements. Contracting authority for political subdivisions of Arizona for this Compact is based on A.R.S. § 26-308.
Financial Implications:
The Arizona Mutual Aid Compact provides a mechanism for reimbursement if reimbursement is requested by the providing jurisdiction and agreed upon by the receiving jurisdiction.
