RESOLUTION 05-169
',ESOLUTION PROMOTING THE USE OF INTRASTATE MUTUAL-AID AGREEMENTS
Motion By: LeMair Second By: Zieska
WHEREAS, Chapter 12, Section 12.331, allows for Intrastate Mutual Aid; and
WHEREAS, the possibility of the occurrence of natural and other disasters of major size and destructiveness exists and is
increasing; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to ensure that the preparations of Prior Lake will be adequate to deal with disasters; generally
protect the public peace, health, and safety; and preserve the lives and property of the people of the city; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide for the rendering of mutual aid among the political subdivisions of the state and to
cooperate with the federal government with respect to carrying out emergency management functions; and
WHEREAS,
it is the policy of Minnesota that all emergency response functions of this state be coordinated to the
maximum extent with the comparable functions of the state government, including its vadous departments
and agencies, of other states and localities, and of pdvate agencies of every type, to the end that the most
effective preparations and uses may be made of the state's labor supply, resources, and facilities for dealing
with any disaster that may occur; and
WHEREAS,
The director of each local organization for emergency management may, in collaboration with other public
and private agencies within this state, develop or cause to be developed mutual-aid arrangements for
reciprocal emergency management aid and assistance in an emergency or disaster too great to be dealt with
unassisted. These arrangements must be consistent with the local emergency operations plan and, in time of
emergency, each local organization for emergency management and its members shall render assistance in
accordance with the provisions of the mutual-aid arrangements; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA as follows:
The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
The City of Prior Lake promotes the efficiency and effectiveness of intrastate mutual aid by designating the appropriate
city employee who, exercising discretion and considering the needs of the city and its inhabitants, is authorized to
dispatch equipment and personnel as considered necessary to respond to a disaster outside of Prior Lake, that by its
suddenness it would be impractical for the City Council itself to authorize the dispatch of equipment and personnel to
combat the emergency or disaster.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 17th DAY OF October, 2005.
