CR 10-046 Withdraw from Joint Powers Agreement• 13:0 -
City of Hopkins
May 18, 2010 Council Report 2010-046
WITHDRAW FROM JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: adopt Resolution 2010-26, withdrawing
from the 1984 Joint Powers Agreement.
Overview
In 1984, the City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with numerous other Cities in the
Metropolitan Area to provide mutual aid assistance for Public Works equipment. State laws have
subsequently changed making this Joint Powers Agreement unnecessary and our insurance
carrier, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) is recommending that we
terminate this Joint Powers Agreement. The attached resolution officially withdraws the City of
Hopkins from this Joint Powers Agreement. The City can still provide mutual aid to other Cities;
• it just no longer needs to be in the form of a Joint Powers Agreement
