BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such dispatch and use as directed by the City Manager or his designee shall be fully authorized as an act of the City of Brooklyn Center and all provisions for compensation of personnel, rental of equipment, liability insurance coverage, workman's compensation insurance and all other safeguards and matters pertaining to the City, its equipment and personnel, shall apply in each case as if specifically authorized and directed by this City Council at such time, whether or not the governing body or authority of the place in which the fire, hazard, casualty or other similar occurrence exists, has previously requested and provided for assistance and the use of the Brooklyn Center equipment and personnel under a mutual protection agreement or other type protection agreement with the City of Brooklyn Center. FURTHER, the City Manager or his designee shall recall, order and terminate the use of such equipment and personnel when the need for their use no longer exists, or earlier, when at his discretion it appears in the best interest of the City of Brooklyn Center.
