Item # C.
|
| Town Council Regular Session |
|
|
|
| Information |
| SUBJECT: |
| Resolution No. (R)17-26, endorsing the consolidation of Golder Ranch Fire District and Mountain Vista Fire District |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends approval. |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
| Golder Ranch Fire District and Mountain Vista Fire District are considering consolidation. Per Arizona Revised Statute 48-822.C.8, "the governing body of the district shall approve the creation of the consolidated district only if the governing body of the city or town endorses the creation by ordinance or resolution." Therefore, the Town must pass a resolution or ordinance endorsing the consolidated district in order for the consolidation to occur. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
Golder Ranch Fire District (GRFD) and Mountain Vista Fire District (MVFD) are considering consolidation, which would result in the Town having one emergency response provider for fire and ambulance services. As a result, the consolidation would expand GRFD's Certificate of Need to include the MVFD area, providing residents of MVFD in the Town ambulance transportation by the consolidated district.
Both Chief Cheryl Horvath and Chief Randy Karrer are supportive of this collaborative effort to consolidate. |
| FISCAL IMPACT: |
| N/A. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I MOVE to (approve / not approve) Resolution No. (R)17-26, endorsing the consolidation of Golder Ranch Fire District and Mountain Vista Fire District. |
