STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM
Item No. 3: Consider and take appropriate action regarding an Interlocal Agreement for Fire
Service to properties located within the Town of Trophy Club but outside the District and Public
Improvement District boundaries.
STAFF REPORT
A need for an interlocal agreement with the Town of Trophy Club has been identified to serve 11
properties that are located within the Town but outside the District and PID boundaries. Chapter
49.351 of the Texas Water Code states:
“Sec. 49.351. FIRE DEPARTMENTS. (a) A district providing potable water or sewer service to household
users may, separately or jointly with another district, municipality, or other political subdivision, establish,
operate, and maintain, finance with ad valorem taxes, mandatory fees, or voluntary contributions, and
issue bonds for a fire department to perform all fire‐fighting services within the district as provided in this
subchapter and may provide for the construction and purchase of necessary buildings, facilities, land, and
equipment and the provision of an adequate water supply.”
The water code allows the district to provide services out of district through an interlocal
agreement (ILA) with a municipality. Fire service is currently provided to PID residents through
an ILA with the Town and this ILA would be similar to that agreement. The attached map shows
the properties that were identified as outside the District boundaries and outside the PID
boundaries. These properties do not pay taxes for fire service like District residents and do not
pay an assessment for fire service like PID residents. To ensure fire protection for all Town
properties, staff is proposing an ILA with the Town.
The included ILA for fire service to out of district and out of PID properties is only provided as a
starting point for the board to consider terms with the council. District and Town staff discussed
a possible method for determining compensation for fire service to these properties that could
be included in the ILA. A common method is to utilize FEMA rates for labor and equipment with
a two‐hour minimum. Per the Fire Chief, current FEMA rates are as follows:
2014 FEMA Schedule of Equipment Rates 2014 FEMA 9525.5 Labor Cost – Emergency Workers
8695 Truck, Fire Ladder ‐ $150.00 per/hr Straight time calculations
8692 Truck, Fire Pumper ‐ $85.00 per/hr Five man crew: Captain, Eng, (3) Firefighters
8690 Truck, Fire Pumper (brush) ‐ $70.00 per/hr Captain ‐ $37.00
8800 Truck, Pickup (utility) – $14.00 per/hr Engineer ‐ $30.00
8800 Truck, SUV ‐ $14.00 Firefighter – $27.00
The District and Town Managers estimated a cost of $500 per call to be included in the draft ILA, only as a
suggested starting point for consideration. If this method is used, the District would bill the Town and the Town
would bill the property owner when fire service is required. If a property owner does not pay the Town, they
have the ability to place a lien on the property.
Staff is seeking direction from the Board on terms of an agreement.
