| 1. | MINUTES: Approval of the City Council minutes of the regular meeting held on April 8, 2014. |
| 2. | RESOLUTION - PANHANDLE REGION MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT: This item approves the updated Panhandle Regional Mutual Aid Agreement (MAA). This agreement will replace the prior MAA originally adopted in March, 2004. The proposed changes to the agreement are required due to passage of HB 3178 in the last legislative session related primarily to reimbursement of costs in certain circumstances and the formal confirmation of mutual aid assistance. Cities and Counties in the Panhandle have operated very successfully under the regional MAA with notable examples being the 2011 wildfires in and around Amarillo as well as tornado and other responses in the past. Approval of the updated MAA is recommended by the Panhandle Regional Emergency Management Advisory Committee. |
