BE IT RESOLVED by the Council for the City of Charlottesville that the City Manager is hereby authorized to sign and instracted to send to the County of Albemarle a notice of termination of the fire services agreement, in substantially the same form as below and as approved by the .City. Attorney. uly 20, 999 Robert Tucker, County Executive County of Albemarle 401 Mclntire Road Chaflottesvitle, VA 22902 By certified mad Notice of Termination Dear Bob: Pursuant to Paragraph (6) of the City/County Fire Service Contract (the "Fire ServiceContracf') dated May 16, 1986, the City hereby notifies the County of Atbemarle that the City will terminate the existing Fire Service Contract at-the end of this fiscal year, June 30, 2000. Fke protection services delivered by the City to the County under that contract will cease at that time. We appreciate working with the County over the years, but, as you know, based on our past correspondence and efforts at working out a new, longer term arrangement, we now know that a new agreement will not -be forthcoming by July 30~ which is the end of the term for-notification. This Notice still leaves the localities with almost 12 months to reach a new agreement before the existing contract ends. We are encouraged by the County's latest proposal for a firefighter committee utilizing a mediator, and we think ~at can be productive. Since the ct~ent year-to-year contract leaves both parties without the ability to do any effective long range planning, City Council remains open to these future-discussions. This notice is intended to keep open ali options for the City Council, but a mutually agreeable long-term contract is our continuing desire. Under certain terms and conditions, Council- may consider ,escinding this Notice prior to July 30, 1999. Sincerely, Gary B. O'Connetl City Manager The meeting wasadjour~ned.
