Council renews two-year interlocal agreement with York Rural Fire Protection District at $80,000 per year
Summary
The City of York council approved a two-year renewal of its interlocal agreement with the York Rural Fire Protection District covering July 1, 2025–June 30, 2027, at $80,000 annually. Council members said the increase recognizes recent capital purchases (tankers) by the rural district and preserves the mutual support relationship.
The City of York council voted July 3 to renew an interlocal agreement with the York Rural Fire Protection District for two years, from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, at $80,000 annually.
A presenter described the agreement as a compromise that acknowledges recent capital spending by the rural district, which purchased a tanker a few years ago, and the district’s requests to replace older equipment. The presenter said the district stores and allows the city to use tanker equipment and that a modest increase in annual funding—$80,000 per year—recognizes the rural district’s capital costs and helps maintain the cooperative arrangement.
Council members supported the renewal, describing it as fiscally responsible and helpful to preserve the interagency relationship and equipment-sharing arrangements. A motion to approve the two-year agreement was seconded and passed by roll call with all present voting yes.
The agreement covers mutual aid and the city’s continued storage and use of district equipment; staff said the arrangement encourages future district capital expenditures that benefit both parties. The council did not identify additional implementation steps beyond the standard interlocal-execution process.
