Not referred to a committee.
City Manager Recommendation:
Move to approve for the Mayor's signature, the Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between the City of Olympia and Washington State Department of Enterprise Services for Fire Protection Services.
Report
Issue:
The Interlocal Agreement signed in July of 2013 for fire protection services on the Capitol Campus needs a second modification. In December of 2013, an amendment was signed to restructure payments from several individual buildings to a single payment from Department of Enterprise Services, DES.
