We request that you bring these to the attention of your City Council for their action and approval. Upon approval by your council, will you please return one executed agreement to this office, together with a copy of your authorizing Motion or Resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. In the event of any disturbance or other local emergency which cannot be met with the facilities of one of the contracting parties, or would leave the agency requesting assistance without normal minimum protection requirements, the other contracting governmental agency agrees upon request, to furnish aid in coping with such disaster or local emergency to the agency requesting such aid upon either an actual or standby basis. The extent of aid to be furnished under this agreement shall be determined solely by the governmental agency or department thereof furnishing such aid, and it is understood that the aid so furnished may be recalled at the sole discretion of the furnishing agency. 2. Details as to methods of requesting mutual aid and the names of persons authorized to send and receive such requests, together with lists of equipment and personnel which will be subject to call, will be covered by correspondence between the governmental agencies and the departments thereof. 3.
