CASE 1990 FIRE PROTECTION CONTRACT WITH THE ANOKA-CHAMPLIN JOINT FIRE DEPARTMENT By: Dave Hartley, City Administrator Background: In years past, the City of Ramsey has contracted with the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department for fire protection and emergency rescue services. The contract with Anoka-Champlin calls for a two year written notice before cancellation. On November 23, 1988 notice was given that it was the intention of the City of Ramsey to discontinue fire protection at the end of 1990. The contract submitted to the City of Ramsey by the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department did not make that fact clear. Therefore, City Attorney Bill Goodrich has redrafted the contract and submits it for your consideration. At the last City Council meeting, a question was raised as to how the City of Ramsey Fire Department intends to deliver rescue services after the termination of the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department contract. It is the intention of the Ramsey Fire Deparanent to deliver non-medical rescue services at the same level as has been provided by Anoka-Champlin and Elk River in the past. This includes responding to all non-medical emergency 911 calls, including water rescue. Each of the fare fighters in Ramsey has been trained as a First Responder and will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to deliver), basic rescue services. Note that medical rescue is not provided by the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department and is not anticipated as a service to be delivered by the Ramsey Fire Department. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of Fire Chief Bruce Hoeke and City Administrator Dave Hartley to have the Ramsey City Council enter into this a~eement with the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department for the calendar year of 1990. Council Action: Motion to authorize the Mayor and Cit-), Administrator to, on behalf of the City of Ramsey, enter into a contract for fire protection and emergency rescue services for the calendar year of 1990 with the Anoka-Champlin Joint Fire Department.
