Agenda Title:

Approve Ordinance No.  6029 to utilize the RCFD for airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF) service required by federal and state laws and regulations.

Summary:

This ordinance is a housekeeping item, and codifies the September 5, 1989 City Council vote to affirm the relationship between the Airport and the Rapid City Fire Department regarding ARFF (Airport Rescue & Fire Fighting). The 1989 Council directed an ordinance be brought forward. For reasons unknown, the ordinance never came forward. So to further preserve and solidify the relationship between the Airport and RCFD, please support adding section 2.72.115, ARFF Services, to the Rapid City Municipal Code.
