City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

09/27/2022

BACKGROUND

The Schertz Fire Department is charged with the responsibility of regional fire suppression, protection and prevention. The Fire Department responds to fire and emergency calls in portions of unincorporated Guadalupe County, and responds in support of other county departments when needed. This is a renewal of the Interlocal Agreement with Guadalupe County for the City of Schertz to provide fire protection in portions of unincorporated Guadalupe County.

GOAL

Approval of Resolution 22-R-108 to authorize the City Manager to sign the Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services between Guadalupe County and the City of Schertz.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Providing Fire Protection Services to these areas outside the City typically does not adversely impact our responses within the City. We would respond in that area for structure fires with or without the agreement due to our area-wide mutual aid agreement. By maintaining this agreement for Guadalupe County, we are able to receive some financial assistance along with providing services in an area that would otherwise be without fire service.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 22-R-108 to authorize the City Manager to sign the Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services between Guadalupe County and the City of Schertz.

FISCAL IMPACT

The City will receive revenue from Guadalupe County in the amount of $37,000 per year under this agreement.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 22-R-108.
