SITUATIONS
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield City Council finds that instances have occurred in
the past and it can be anticipated in the future wherein there is a danger, by fire, hazard,
weather, casualty or similar occurrences taking place or occurring outside of the
boundaries of the City of Richfield; and
WHEREAS, due to the suddenness of such occurrences, it would be impossible for
the Richfield City Council to meet and authorize the dispatch and use of city equipment
personnel to combat such fire, hazard, weather, casualty or similar occurrence; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield City Council finds it desirable and necessary to
authorize the City Manager, or his/her designee, to exercise discretion, considering at all
times the internal needs of the City of Richfield and its inhabitants to dispatch City of
Richfield equipment and personnel deemed necessary to combat such occurrence
whether it takes place within or without the City of Richfield boundaries.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that such dispatch and use as directed by
the City Manager, or his/her designee, shall be fully authorized as an act of the City of
Richfield and all provisions for compensation of personnel, rental of equipment, liability
insurance coverage, workers' compensation insurance and all other safeguards and
matters pertaining to the City of Richfield, it's equipment and personnel, shall apply in each
case as if specifically authorized and directed by this City of Richfield City Council at such
time, whether or not the governing body or authority of the place in which the fire, hazard,
casualty or other similar occurrence exists, has previously requested and provided for
assistance and use of the equipment and personnel under a mutual protection agreement
or other type protection agreement with the City of Richfield. Further the City Manager, or
his/her designee, shall recall, order and terminate the use of such equipment and
personnel when the need for their use no longer exists, or earlier, when at his/her
