ITEM: 5C
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2026
PREPARED BY: Jason Wedel, City Manager
PRESENTED BY: Jason Wedel
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending the Agreement for Fire and Rescue Services
with the City of Credit River and Spring Lake Township
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a resolution amending the agreements with the City of Credit River and Spring Lake
Township to Provide Fire and Rescue Services.
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, the city entered into its most recent Agreement with the City of Credit River and Spring
Lake Township to provide fire and rescue services. The term of the agreements is for 10 years
and will end on December 31, 2031. Included in the current agreement is the allocation of how
costs will be split amongst Prior Lake, Credit River and Spring Lake Township and includes a list
of the future major expenditures such as the purchase of a fire engine in 2021.
Through the City's capital improvement planning process it has been determined that a new
ladder truck will be needed in 2027 to replace the existing ladder truck which is nearing the end
of its useful life. This expenditure was not included in the current agreement and needs to be
added and approved by all parties.
The Spring Lake Township Board reviewed the proposed contract amendment at their meeting
on January 8, 2026, and subsequently approved it. The Credit River City Council reviewed the
proposed contract amendment at their regular meeting on February 2, 2026, and approved it as
well.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the new ladder truck is $1,860,312. This included an initial deposit of $400,000
which has already been paid. The remaining balance owed at the time of delivery will be
$1,460,312.
Per the amended agreement, Credit River and Spring Lake Township have the option of paying
their proportional share of the cost up front or they can have it amortized over 15 years.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and a second as part of the consent agenda to approve a resolution approving
the amendment to the agreement for fire and rescue services with the City of Credit
River and Spring Lake Township.
2. Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda for additional
discussion.
