DOCUMENT TYPE: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council pass this resolution authorizing
the execution of an interlocal agreement that would implement the transfer of a MITS vehicle,
including all responsibilities for maintenance and operation of such vehicle, from Salt Lake City
(“SLC”) to West Valley City (“WVC”).
BUDGET IMPACT: There will be no material budget impact associated with authorizing the
execution of the interlocal agreement at issue.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Both SLC and WVC were participants in the Urban Areas
Security Initiative grant program for the Wasatch Front urban area as established by the United
States Department of Homeland Security (the “UASI”). As part of the UASI, grant funds were
allocated to Salt Lake City to purchase and operate several Mobile Interoperable Tactical Solution
Vehicles (individually, a “MITS Vehicle”) for use in emergencies and other operations throughout
the Wasatch Front urban area and the State of Utah.
The vehicles were titled and held in the name of Salt Lake City Corporation as it was the entity
primarily responsible for their creation, staffing, and maintenance. However, the grant funds were
allocated for the benefit of all participants in the UASI and WVC has participated in the MITS
Vehicle program. The UASI grant funding for the Wasatch Front has since been terminated. As a
result, individual members of the UASI have now become responsible for the maintenance of the
assets acquired with grant funds.

The SLC and WVC fire departments believe it is in the best interests of the citizens served by such
fire departments, and the State of Utah as a whole, to have the MITS Vehicles staged at separate
locations throughout the Wasatch Front and maintained by separate entities. The Parties wish to
enter into an agreement for the disposition of one of the MITS Vehicles so that it may be owned and
maintained by WVC and be staged in a manner to best meet the emergency and other needs of the
citizens of the Wasatch Front and State of Utah.

session. A clean copy (approved as to form) of the proposed ordinance is included with this
