Resolution approving the Second Amendment to the Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Wauwatosa and Milwaukee County providing fire services to buildings located on the former Milwaukee County Grounds
body
WHEREAS, in 1980, Milwaukee County and the City of Wauwatosa entered into an agreement for providing and funding first-line fire protection services to county-owned buildings and properties as well as the Private Geographic Members (“PGMs”) of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center located on the Milwaukee County Grounds;
WHEREAS, over the past three decades, the County has been divesting itself of ownership of large portions of the land and facilities on the County Grounds, and currently the PGM’s pay property taxes on a portion of the properties they own, and the parties have expressed a desire to wind down the County’s involvement in fire protection services on the County Grounds and allow the City of Wauwatosa to independently operate its Fire Department in a manner most appropriate for the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Wauwatosa that the Second Amendment to the Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Wauwatosa and Milwaukee County related to the provision and funding of fire services on the Milwaukee County Grounds hereby be adopted.
