Paetznick, Director of Public Safety '4wa CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: No comments to supplement this report Comments attached Recommendation: Adopt the resolution withdrawing from the All Hazards Joint Powers Agreement and authorize adoption of the Statewide All Hazards Incident Management Organization Agreement Legislative History: August 23, 2011 Joined the JPA For the All Hazards Incident Management Team Financial Impact: None Explanation: The City of New Brighton is a member of All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) (IMO). The AHIMT provides special training and experience to participants in the management of disasters and large scale incidents including floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, pandemics, wild-fires, and civil disturbances to name a few. This training and experience are leveraged by the City of New Brighton when responding to its own incidents. The decision to terminate the JPA and enter into a new Cooperative Agreement is based in insurance and liability concerns. In early 2019, management of the IMO was moved from the City of Bloomington to Anoka County. To avoid the need for separate liability coverage for the organization, IMO leadership has determined that the IMO does not need to be structured as a joint powers entity to function effectively. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) has reviewed the Cooperative Agreement and confirmed that cities providing equipment and employees to the AHIMT under the new agreement are covered under their LMCIT liability coverage.
