Recommendation
It is requested the Board approve the Automatic Aid Agreement with the City of Melbourne for Fire Protection. It is also requested the Board authorize the County Manager, or designee, the authority to execute any revisions to the agreement, as agreed to by both parties and as outlined in the agreement, upon the review and approval of the County Attorney’s Office and Risk Management. There are no substantive changes from the previous agreement, which has been fundamentally the same for the last fourteen (14) years.

Summary Explanation and Background:
On March 2, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved an Agreement between the City of Melbourne and Brevard County to provide Automatic Aid for Fire protection for four (4) years with five (5) biennial renewals periods, and will expire on September 30, 2020.
The Attached agreement allows for both agencies to respond with the closet available apparatus and personnel to the other’s emergency regardless of the jurisdiction in an effort to provide a more timely and effective response. Approval of this Agreement will result in the saving of property and possibly human life, while meeting the County’s vision of providing for the health of our citizens.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Return the fully executed Interlocal Agreement to Pamela Barrett in Fire Rescue for recordation in the Official Record Books.
