Council approves interlocal agreement with Department of Natural Resources
Summary
Council approved an interlocal agreement with the Washington Department of Natural Resources to continue mutual-aid responses and grant funding for fire responses where DNR is primary authority.
The Burlington City Council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the Washington Department of Natural Resources on Feb. 12 that continues the city's ability to receive DNR grant funding and to respond to mutual-aid incidents when DNR is the primary authority.
Assistant Fire Chief Steve Riggs introduced the renewal and explained that the agreement preserves reimbursement of Burlington’s equipment and personnel when DNR requests assistance. Councilors Kelsey Freeman and Jesús Pérez-Linares moved to approve and authorize the mayor to sign; the motion carried with all members voting in favor.
The agreement maintains existing mutual-aid relationships and funding streams that support wildfire and resource-protection responses.
