service for the City of Englewood for non -resident transpor~. Thus hr In

letter In the Sentinel, and st ated she had Interpreted It differently, that

11 . Ordinances, Resolutions and Notions
(a) Executive Officer Olson presented a recommendat i on from the Depart-
ment of Safety Services to adopt a bi 11 for an ordinance approving a Mutual
Aid/Automatic Aid Agreement with the City of Sheridan for fire services. Kr.
Olson explained this was a updated version of a prior agreement which has been
in effect since 1984. The proposed version extends south to Belleview the
coverage Sheridan will provide Englewood; other provisions remain the same .
Counc 11 Member Hathaway Inquired whether Sheridan Is required to respond to
Englewood 's calls wi th three paid professionals or if Sheridan can send volun-
teers. Mr. Olson assured Council that Sheridan has not and wl 11 not send
volunteers i n response to an emergency situat i on In Englewood unless we
specifically ask for volunteers in a mutual aid situation. Training standards
for volunteers were br i efly discussed. Council Member Hathaway requested
statistics concerning Sheridan's responses to Englewood's emergency calls.
Mr. Olson agreed to pro~ide Council with documentation from Sheridan regarding
this matter .
Changes to the agreement were discussed; however, City Manager Fraser Inter-
jected that past elCperience does not indicate Sheridan has sent vo 1 unteers,
further that volunteers have not been an issue In the past and are not expec•
ted to become one In the future. He offered to provide Council with documen -
tation about past responses and, If they wish, to keep them apprised about
responses In the future . He assured Counc il the agreement could be amended If
It becomes necessary.
