COUNCIL ACTION FORM28e Mutual Aid Agreement • September 9th, 2019
Contract Type FiledSeptember 9th, 2019In 2001, all of the fire departments within Story County signed a 28E intergovernmental agreement to provide mutual aid during fire calls. In 2011, these departments attempted to sign a new 28E agreement for mutual aid. This new agreement was proposed to address the separation of the Westory Fire agency into two separate entities, Gilbert Fire and Westory Fire (City of Kelley), and to add emergency medical services (EMS) to the agreement. The Ames City Council approved this revised agreement on November 22, 2011. Unfortunately, this 28E agreement was never filed with the State of Iowa because not all the signatures could be collected from all of the participating agencies.
