A Resolution Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement (Lemont Township Fire Protection District)

Summary

This resolution authorizes an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Romeoville and the Lemont Fire Protection District. Under this agreement, Lemont will transfer a 2004 Spartan Fire Engine (VIN 4S7ATZC904C046996) to Romeoville's Fire Academy. In exchange, Romeoville will provide Lemont with a $15,000 tuition credit for firefighters to use at the Romeoville Fire Academy. The fire engine is declared surplus by Lemont and will be accepted by Romeoville "as is." The agreement also includes mutual indemnification clauses and requires Romeoville to maintain insurance for the fire engine upon receipt of title. The exchange is considered complete once the $15,000 tuition credit is fully utilized.

Citizen Impact

This agreement allows the Romeoville Fire Academy to acquire a fire engine at no direct cost, potentially enhancing training capabilities. Lemont firefighters will benefit from tuition credits for training, reducing costs for their department.
