CC Work Session 2. 2. <br />Meeting Date: 01/14/2020 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Fire Service Joint Powers Agreement Update <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to present an update of the current Ramsey Fire Department Joint Powers Agreement <br />with the City of Nowthen. <br />This meeting will review the funding and fees for fire services (attached) and discuss the future Joint Powers <br />Agreement direction. <br />Since the last Ramsey Council meeting the following actions have occurred: <br />• A notice intent to terminate the Fire Services Joint Powers Agreement was delivered to the City of Nowthen, <br />commencing a two-year period of termination. (see attached letter) <br />• Nowthen's mayor submitted a proposal to terminate the contract within one year (instead of two) and keeping <br />the current fee in place. (see attached letter) <br />• At a December 17 meeting of the Joint Fire Board, Ramsey presented an option to establish 2020 fees at <br />$82,217 for 2020. (see attached proposal). The fee was proposed to be pro -rated based on the date Nowthen <br />would go on their own, but no later than December 31, 2020, at which point, the JPA would terminate. <br />Nowthen and Ramsey Fire Board members agreed to take this discussion back to their respective councils for <br />discussion. <br />Timeframe: <br />20 minutes <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Matt Kohner, Fire Chief <br />Outcome: <br />Informational only <br />2020 Fire Service Fee Proposal <br />Notice to Nowthen <br />Nowthen Proposal <br />Response to Nowthen <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox <br />Reviewed By Date <br />
