RESOLUTION NO. 24-76
A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF PLANNED MUTUAL
AID IN PUBLIC WORKS
WHEREAS, the Northwest Municipal Conference Public Works Departments have met
regularly since January, 1976, for purposes of exploring and promoting those pro-
grams and policies of mutual interest; and
WHEREAS, the potential for planned sharing of equipment and manpower has re-
ceived considerable attention as a necessary and worthwhile activity for the com-
bined efforts of the Conference municipalities; and
WHEREAS, participating municipalities would greatly benefit by realizing immediate
and measurable monetary savings through the borrowing or leasing of special or uni-
que equipment of which it has only limited need; and
WHEREAS, a standard inventory of Conference public works equipment will greatly
enhance the purchasing capabilities of individual municipalities with respect to joint
purchasing and inventory control; and
WHEREAS, the Conference has actively pursued and examined the formation of a
viable, area-wide equipment and manpower exchange; and
WHEREAS, such efforts have proven to have unanimous support among participating
Departments;
