Agenda Item Brief: The annual operating plan is an addendum to and is intended to clearly identify and define the operational aspects of the cooperative agreement.
Background: The Sparks Fire Department maintains cooperative agreements with local, state, and federal fire agencies to provide resources to assist each other with emergencies that exceed the capabilities of a single agency. The Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement was negotiated in 2009 and remains in effect for five years. This agreement not only serves as a mechanism to provide mutual assistance, it also serves as our agreement and billing mechanism for assistance by hire to the United States Forest Service, The Bureau of Indian Affairs, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service. The annual operating plan is intended to be reviewed each year to make adjustments to billing rates and contact information as well as to clearly define the operational aspects of the cooperative agreement. If approved by the Council, this annual operating plan will take effect immediately.
Analysis:
Alternatives: 1) Council can choose to not approve the annual operating plan between the Sparks Fire Department and the Bureau of Land Management. 2) Council can accept the recommended motion.
Recommended Motion: Move to approve the annual operating plan between the Sparks Fire Department and the Bureau of Land Management.
