CC CASE # 9 <br />AUTHORIZE ENTERING INTO REVISED JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH <br />THE CITY OF NOWTHEN FOR FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES <br />By: Dean Kapler, Fire Chief <br />Background: <br />On September 11, 2007 the cities of Ramsey and Nowthen entered into a Joint Powers Agreement <br />for Fire Protection. The agreement has been and continues to be in effect. <br />At the time the agreement was first authorized, the City of Nowthen was going through the <br />process of incorporating from Burns Township to a city status. The original contract contained <br />many references to "Burns Township". Earlier this year the City of Nowthen asked to revise the <br />contract to include the "City of Nowthen" rather than Burns Township. The attached revised <br />contract also excludes the section prorating the original contract for service fees until the Joint <br />Powers Agreement went into effect. <br />Funding: <br />The City of Ramsey's financial portion of the agreement remains the same. Nowthen's payment <br />to the Ramsey Relief Association was increased from $3600 to $3708 effective 2009. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorizing entering into the revised Joint Powers Agreement. The City <br />Attorney has reviewed the document and recommends approval. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to accept/reject Staff's recommendation to authorize entering into the revised Joint <br />Powers Agreement. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Deputy City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br />Fire Chief <br />CC: 08/25/2009 <br />
