RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT WITH WICHITA
COUNTY FOR CERTAIN FIRE FIGHTING SERVICES
WITHIN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF
THE CITY.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF
WICHITA FALLS , TEXAS , THAT :
That certain Memorandum of Understanding between County
Commissioners Dod Wiley and Clark Gresham, representing the
County of Wichita, and Alderman J. C. Boyd (a committee from
the City Council of Wichita Falls) concerning City fire pro-
tection of industries located within the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of the City of Wichita Falls, is hereby approved
in principle. The City Manager is hereby authorized to enter
into a contract with Wichita County under the Interlocal Co-
operation Act, Article 4413 (32c) of the Revised Civil Statutes
of Texas, whereby the City shall provide fire protection for
those specified industries outside the City limits and within
the extraterritorial jurisdiction, set out in Exhibit A,
attached hereto. The contract shall be for a period of one
year.
The County will pay the City Eight Hundred Dollars ($800. 00)
for each fire fighting mission the City performs for an industry
covered under the contract. A fire fighting mission is a re-
sponse to an actual fire or emergency, but does not include
false alarms, crank calls or maintenance. In addition, the
County will pay to the City as a standby fee an amount equal to
ten percent of the ad valorem taxes that the County receives
from the specified industries until the industry is annexed by
the City. This standby fee, in part, pays for false alarms and
crank calls, and for maintenance of the Fire Department. In
addition, a portion of this standby fee is intended to cover
the County' s responsibility for any civil liability imposed on
it by Section 4 , Paragraph (g) of the Interlocal Cooperation
Act, and to pay a part of the premium paid by the City for
personal injury and property damage liability insurance on
its fire vehicles.
