Bradford, Village Manager <_� y�y DATE: May 3, 1990 SUBJECT: Proposed Interlocal Agreement Providing for Fire - Rescue Services; Agenda Item IX, E Pursuant to your instructions, I have been negotiating with the Palm Beach County Fire -Rescue Department for a new Interlocal Agreement to commence effective October 1, 1990, in that the existing Agreement is scheduled to conclude on September 30, 1990. This Agreement is basically similar to the existing except for the following notations: o The previously referenced MSTU #1 has been eliminated by the County Commission and is now proposed that the Village be served by a new MSTU referred to as the "Fire - Rescue MSTU". o The term of this Agreement is for seven (7) years as opposed to the previous five (5) year Agreement. o Section 11 of the Agreement requires the Fire -Rescue Administrator to submit a budget to the Village no later than May 1 of each year. The Village will have four (4) months until the following September 1 within which to exercise its option to terminate the contract for the fiscal year which will commence thirteen (13) months thereafter. Additionally, the Village has been granted a onetime window of opportunity to terminate the Agreement effective October 1, 1991, provided that the Village exercise its option to do so prior to February 1, 1991. I consider this to be a fair and equitable Agreement to both parties. The County has amended its standard form of agreement allowing the Village to terminate the Agreement earlier than the norm. In the event the Village does not exercise this early termination option, the Agreement is fair in that, should the Village choose to terminate the Agreement at a later point in time, a minimum of thirteen (13) months notice is given to the County to adjust its operations. It is recommended that the Village Council authorize the Mayor to execute this Agreement on behalf of the Village of Tequesta. TGB / j mm TONES, FOSTER, JOHNSTON & STUBBS, P.A.

OfrICE RE: Village of Tequesta Interlocal Agreement for Fire -Rescue Services Our File No. 13153.1 Dear Tom: I have no real problem with the above referenced Agreement and can approve same as to legal form and sufficiency.
