POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support entering into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between Meadowbrook-Fairview Metropolitan District and Littleton Fire Rescue for fire and medical response services effective July 1, 2016?
BACKGROUND:
The City of Littleton provided fire and emergency medical response services to this special district until 2009 and West Metro Fire Rescue has been providing this service since. The West Metro IGA with Meadowbrook-Fairview Metropolitan District (MFMD) recently expired and MFMD reached out to Littleton Fire Rescue and requested that LFR again provide these contract services. MFMD does not have a desire to annex or become part of another fire protection district and wishes to contract directly with LFR for these services on a long-term basis.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Meadowbrook-Fairview Metropolitan District has agreed to pay an annual fee equal to the Littleton Fire Protection District’s mill levy (7.678 %). This community is located near Wadsworth Blvd and West Chatfield Ave (see Exhibit 1 Map). The MFMD service area includes 1,226 single-family residences, 61 multi-family residences and 23 commercial locations and averages approximately 40 calls per year for service. The revenue created by this IGA, estimated at the current mill levy and assessed value, would be approximately $343,000 for the first year. The contract automatically renews for a 10-year term.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The estimated revenue of $343,000 for the first year contract, and future revenue for service, would be split 50%/50% with the Littleton Fire Protection District.
This contract for service would be accomplished from existing stations, any costs for providing these services to Meadowbrook should already be covered.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve on second reading the ordinance to approve a Service Agreement with Meadowbrook-Fairview Metropolitan District for fire and emergency medical response services.
