RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MUTUAL AID
WHEREAS, the Fridley City Council finds that there are situations where another local
government may need the assistance of our City's personnel and/or equipment and it would be
impossible or impractical for Council to meet to authorize sending such assistance; and
WHEREAS, there are also situations where our City may need the assistance of another
local government's personnel and/or equipment, and it would be equally impractical for Fridley
City Council to meet to authorize requesting such assistance; and
WHEREAS, the Fridley City Council authorized the City to enter into the Anoka County
Law Enforcement Joint Powers Agreement effective October 5, 1981;

In the case of requests for law enforcement personnel and/or equipment, the Director of
Public Safety is authorized to act on all such requests for assistance as the Responding

This decision shall be made after considering at all times and in each case the internal
needs of our City in addition to the needs of the party requesting our City's assistance.
The City Manager, Director of Public Safety or his /her designee, shall recall the City's
equipment and/or personnel if it is needed in our City, or if it is no longer needed by the
