SUBJECT: Mutual Aid Agreement MEETING DATE: April 7th, 2020Mutual Aid Agreement • December 15th, 2020
From time to time the Goodhue County Chiefs Association looks at our Mutual Aid Agreement to see if any changes or updates are needed. Attached you will see the changes made from our 2014 agreement. This agreement has been looked at and approved by our city attorney. This agreement is vital for our mostly rural area that we cover. Since we are a volunteer department, we can’t guarantee adequate personnel for all fire responses. Providing water to rural fires is what’s mostly requested, as well as additional firefighters when needed for city and rural responses, mostly in the weekday and daytime hours. This agreement leaves it at our discretion, at any time, to either send or not send resources. It also gives us the ability to bill for resources sent on calls lasting more than 12 hours. We can also recall resources at any time if needed. We also have a similar agreement with our surrounding Dakota County departments.
