HD. MTG. 8/27/85 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD CITYATTY FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE STATE OF 15EPT. FIR I CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY J CITY'MGR.a//- RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. P S-5� approving a five year agreement for mutual aid between the City of Carlsbad and the State of California, Department of Forestry. ITEM EXPLANATION: The present Mutual Fire Protection Aid Agreement between the City of Carlsbad and the State of California, Department of Forestry expired on July 16, 1985. The Agreement provides the City with more resources (water tankers, air tankers, brush trucks, bulldozers, personnel) to combat wildland fires that develop or extend beyond our capabilities. The City has structural fire fighting equipment that could be requested by the Department of Forestry. The State has approved an extension of the present Agreement for another five year period. It is recommended the City Council approve the attached. Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: Some, costs for overtime pay for personnel can be anticipated when CaMsbad responds to other areas of the County to render aid. It is difficult to estimate those costs, however, we would not expect it to exceed $2, 500 in any given year. Costs can also be incurred ,for -air drops or special crews for cutting fire breaks. We have incurred costs ($649) only once during the past five years. EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution No. 2. _Mutual. Fire Protection Aid Agreement.
