AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ACTING THROUGH
THE INDIANAPOLIS FIRE DEPARTMENT,AND THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,
REGARDING INDIANA TASK FORCE ONE
Dear President Scott:
Your favorable consideration is requested for the above-referenced resolution approving a revised
Memorandum of Agreement between the City of South Bend and the City of Indianapolis that enables the
City of South Bend to become a participating agency in Indiana Task Force One,an urban search and rescue
task force within the National Urban Search&Rescue Response System.
This resolution also expressly rescinds the Common Council's Resolution No. 4663-17, which
approved a prior version of the memorandum between the City of South Bend and the Indianapolis
Department of Public Safety. The Indianapolis Department of Public Safety was dissolved before
Resolution No. 4663-17 was adopted, and the prior memorandum was not executed by the City of
Indianapolis following the resolution's adoption. This resolution approves the revised memorandum
between the City of South Bend and the City of Indianapolis.
I will be presenting this resolution to the Common Council on January 22, 2018, along with Fire
Chief Steve Cox and Battalion Chief Chris Baker. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Sincerely,
Elliot Anderson
Assistant City Attorney
