AN ORDINANCE FOR AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRE AUTHORITY FEASABILITY STUDY

City Manager Gipson reported that Municipal fire departments in the St. Louis region currently face mounting cost pressures from skyrocketing equipment prices, increasing personnel salaries and obligations, and the high cost of maintaining modern apparatus as well as service fragmentation which can lead to inefficient operations. Establishing a regional fire authority (RFA), municipalities may be able to eliminate redundant administrative functions, standardize equipment, thoughtfully deploy apparatus throughout the service area, and enhance our market position resulting in improved firefighter/paramedic recruitment and retention, while leveraging economies of scale for large-scale purchasing. The model implements borderless response and training systems with improved response times, standardized training, consistent standards and leadership. The proposed scope of services outlines a comprehensive feasibility assessment for a partnership between IAFF Local 2665 and participating cities to create a user-fee-based consolidated fire authority with a projected start date of January 1, 2028. The ordinance authorizes the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the cities of Maplewood, Richmond Heights, Shrewsbury, Olivette, University City and Webster Groves for the Fire Authority Study. The cost of the study will be divided evenly amongst the partner cities, with an initial cap of $40,000 per participant. Councilmember Buse introduced Bill No. 7161, authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement for a Fire Authority Study to be read for the first time by title only. Councilmember Feder seconded.
