RESOLUTION APPROVING ADOPTION OF THE STATEWIDE MUTUAL AID
COMPACT FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, emergencies and disasters transcend jurisdictional boundaries, making
intergovernmental coordination essential in successful emergency response efforts; and,
WHEREAS,there will inevitably be emergencies that require immediate access to outside resources
due to the fact that few individual governments have all of the resources they may need in every type of
emergency; and,
WHEREAS, Senate File 2124, approved by the Second Session of the 79' General Assembly in
2002, creates Iowa Code Section 29C.22,the Statewide Mutual Aid Compact; and,
WHEREAS, the Statewide Mutual Aid Compact allows participating counties, cities, and other
political subdivisions to prepare in advance for mutual assistance in managing any emergency or disaster;
and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,that in
order to maximize the prompt, full, and effective use of resources of all participating governments in the
event of an emergency or disaster, the City hereby adopts the Statewide Mutual Aid Compact, which is
attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
