Resolved by the Commission of the City of Battle Creek:
The Michigan Constitution of 1963, Article 7, §28, and the Urban Cooperation Act of 1967, being MCL 124.501, et. seq. (the "Act"), permit a political subdivision to exercise jointly with any other political subdivision any power, privilege or authority which such political subdivisions share in common with which each might exercise separately; and
Due to the fact that some areas of municipal services need to meet specific standards or details which require specialized skills and knowledge, and it is difficult for public entities to locate service providers that are able to perform those specialized services, economically, properly and timely; and
Battle Creek has specific areas of expertise in its Fleet Services Division and has the facilities and personnel capable to perform Fleet Services for both itself and for surrounding municipalities; and
Battle Creek is licensed by the State of Michigan as a Motor Vehicle Repair Facility at the Fleet Services Department garage located at 154 S. Kendall Street; and
Battle Creek is able to provide Fleet Services to surrounding municipalities on an as-requested basis as Battle Creek's schedule and City work load allows; and
The City Manager is authorized to enter into Interlocal Agreements with surrounding municipalities under the terms and conditions as set out in the attached form agreement.
I, Victoria Houser, City Clerk of the City of Battle Creek, hereby certify the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of a Resolution adopted by the Battle Creek City Commission at a Regular meeting held on August 16, 2016.
Victoria Houser
