Thompson, City Administr t r Prepared by: Raymond C. Picard, Fire Chi crr� GLrr..' Subject: AUTOMATIC AID AND CONSOLIDATED FIRE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS, TRAINING, REPORTING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGREEMENTS FOR NET 6 Consistent with Council Policy? (X] Yes (] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: STATEMENT OF IS5UE: The existing Net 6 Automatic Aid and Facilities Use Agreements between the Cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Westminster and the County of Orange need to be modified due to cancellation by Seal Beach and an inclusion request by Newport Beach. RECOMMENDATION: Ratify the Agreements to allow for automatic mutual aid between the cities and the County of Orange and to enter into a joint Net 6 operating agreement for a consolidated fire communication, training, reporting and information system. ANALYSIS: Net 6, a cooperative functional organization, has by Agreement been jointly operating a consolidated communication, training, reporting and information system since 1974. The partners in this venture have been the City Fire Department's of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Westminster and the County of Orange. Since the City of Seal Beach has contracted their fire protection services to the County of Orange, this City Is no longer directly involved with Net 6 and has chosen to let the County jointly operate with Net 6 on their behalf. Also, the City of Newport Beach finds that it would be to everyone's advantage to join Net 6. In addition, there have been several modifying contracts over the years which need to be cleaned up and incorporated Into these two new Agreements. The cost effectiveness and efficiency of this operating relationship has proven itself over the years, and all parties have agreed to the revised terms. These Agreements are subject to the ratification by all City Councils and the Board of Supervisors. The scope, terms, and procedures incorporated within these Agreements are essentially the same as in the past. FUNDING SOURCE: Overall, there is a general fund projected cost savings for all of the entities involved except for the City of Newport Beach which is entering into a new expanded activity. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: No option on the Seal Beach cancellation. The City could try to limit the Agreement to the current users with resulting cost increases, or cancel all contracts and operate independently. ATTACHMENTS: Automatic Aid and Communications, Training, Reporting and Information Systems Agreements.
