SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Intrastate Water/Wastewater Response Network (IdWARN) has been established in Idaho with over 60 current members where utility agencies can support one another and maintain
critical life/safety operations in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency. The included Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement outlines the rules and regulations for members
and the procedures for requesting, providing and/or refusing to provide assistance. It has been reviewed and approved by legal counsel.
Membership in IdWARN not only provides the City of McCall with statewide support network, but also provides for local collaboration (City of Cascade is a member). Additionally, membership
in IdWARN is beneficial (increases application scores) when applying for various grant opportunities offered by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) and other funding
sources, some of which the City is currently pursuing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement for Idaho Intrastate Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (IdWARN) and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
