Several of the items were described as routine payments or membership renewals; the DCC membership and mutual-aid charges were described as part of the city's participation in regional information-sharing and mutual-aid arrangements. The mutual-aid agreement with the Michigan DNR was presented as enabling personnel and equipment loaning and qualifying the city for certain grant opportunities, and staff recommended approval.
