RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No. 52431, an Interlocal Fire Services Agreement with the City of Haslet,
to expand the fire services provided by the City of Fort Worth to an area of Haslet commonly known or referred to as LeTara; and

and emergency response to the area of Haslet commonly known or referred to as LeTara.

City Secretary Contract No. 52431 known as the Interlocal Agreement for Fire Services between City of Fort Worth and City of Haslet provides
mutual aid services in response to fires, rescues, and emergency medical service (EMS) first response calls in each other's jurisdictions by the
Fort Worth and Haslet Fire Departments. In addition to mutual aid services, the City of Fort Worth provides automatic aid fire services to certain
areas in the City of Haslet. The cities of Fort Worth and Haslet now wish to amend the agreement to expand the area where the Fort Worth Fire
Department is to provide automatic aid for response services for calls in a designated area not easily accessed by the Haslet Fire Department as
outlined in the agreement and referred to as LeTara. The Fort Worth Fire Department will be reimbursed at a rate of $2,000.00 per response into
the area known as LeTara for an estimated 50 responses per year.
This project will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: City of

FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and execution of the amendment to the contract, funds will be
deposited into the General Fund. The Fire Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of
funds due to the City.
