BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR A REVISED
MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT FOR POLICE SERVICES WITH
SCOTT COUNTY AND OTHER SCOTT COUNTY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek Council approval of a revision to
the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Agreement.
History
Mutual Aid Agreements are made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 471.59,
which authorizes governmental entities with common powers to enter into
agreements that provide for the joint and cooperative exercise of the common
powers. The intent of the agreement before you is to make equipment,
personnel and other resources available to political subdivisions from other
political subdivisions. Typically, the need to share resources arises under
circumstances involving a major crime, accident or natural disaster.
The County and cities within Scott County entered into a Law Enforcement
Mutual Aid Pact, hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement," in 2002. The
Agreement has been amended twice since 2002.
Current Circumstances
This third amendment to the Agreement is sought for two reasons. First of
all, the cities of E1ko and New Market have united to become one city, E1ko-
New Market. Secondly, the amendment adds the law enforcement agency for
the Three Rivers Park District to the Agreement. The Three Rivers Park
District is frequently in the County patrolling Murphy's Landing, Murphy-
Hanrehan and Cleary Lake Parks.
There is no additional financial impact to this amendment.
1. Approve the revision to the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Pact.
2. Deny the approval and provide direction to staff.
