BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION
APPROVING A REVISION TO THE MUTUAL AID
AGREEMENT FOR POLICE SERVICES WITH SCOTT
COUNTY AND OTHER SCOTT COUNTY
COMMUNITIES.
Historv:
Mutual Aid Agreements are made pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes 471.59 which authorizes the joint and cooperative
exercise of powers common to contracting powers. The intent
of such an agreement is to make equipment, personnel and
other resources available to political subdivisions from other
political subdivisions. Typically, this resource sharing takes
place as a result of a major crime, accident or natural disaster.
The Mutual Aid Agreement for Police Services with Scott
County and other Scott County communities was most recently
updated in November 2002.
Current Circumstances:
Section ill, 2d of the agreement as approved in November 2002
states that, "No charges shall be levied by a Responding Party
for assistance rendered to a Requesting Party under the terms of
this Agreement." The Scott County Director of Emergency
Management has advised us that a change is necessary to meet
FEMA guidelines for reimbursement. The proposed
amendment stipulates that no charges shall be levied by a

MOTION:
REVIEWED BY:
Responding Party "unless the assistance continues for a period
of more than 48 hours." Once the 48 hour threshold has been
reached, a Responding Party shall submit an itemized invoice
to the Requesting Party for the actual cost of any assistance
provided after the initial 48 hour period. This change will
allow the cities and county to be reimbursed by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
There are two typographical errors that are corrected in the
amendment to the Law enforcement Mutual Aid Pact.
(1) Adopt the Resolution approving the original agreement and
the first amendment to the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid
Agreement.
(2) Deny approval d direct further action.
