anticipated in the future wherein there is a danger by fire, hazard, casualty
or other similar occurrences taking place or occurring outside the ter-
ritorial limits of the City of Columbia Heights~ and by the suddeness
thereof it would be impossi'ble or impractical for the City Council to meet
and authorize the dispatch and use of City equipment and personnel to
combat such fire, hazard, casualty or other si'milar occurrence; therefore,
BE'IT RESOLVED by the Columbia Heights City Council as follows:
The Council finds it desirable and necessary to authorize the City Manager
or his designee to exercise discretion, considering at all times and
in each case the internal needs of the City of Columbia Heights and its
inhabitants, to dispatch City equipment and personnel as deemed necessary
to combat such occurrence whether it takes place within or without the
City limits,

or his designee shall be fully authori'zed as an act of the City of
Columbia Heights and all provisions for compensati~on of personnel,
rental of equipment, liability insurance coverage, workmanls compensation
insurance and all other safeguards and matters pertaining to the City,
its equipment and personnel, shall apply in each case as if specifi~catly
authorized and directed by this Ci'ty Council at such time, whether or
not the governing body or authority of the place in which the fire, hazard,
casualty or other similar occurrence exists, has previously requested and
provi~ded for assistance and the use of the equipment and personnel under
a mutual protection agreement or other type protection agreement with the
City of Columbia Heights,
