AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER AN AGREEMENT WITH WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FOR THE PROVISION OF FIRE PREVENTION, FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ON THE DANFORTH CAMPUS

City Manager Owens reported that for several years, the City of Clayton has provided Washington University with Fire Prevention, Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services at their hilltop campus (main campus). Since 1992 the City and University have maintained these services through various written agreements. Our current agreement expired on September 30, 2016, and both parties have expressed the desire to continue this arrangement. To that end an amendment to the current agreement has been negotiated. The proposed amendment to the agreement is for a 21 month period with the provision for automatic renewal up to three (3) additional one-year extensions. The agreement includes a ninety-day notice provision if the contract is not to be renewed. The new contract also includes a provision to increase the base service fee by the Consumer Price Index – Urban or 5% whichever is greater at each renewal. The agreement has been beneficial to both parties, and significant negotiations have been conducted to reach this amendment.
