STATE COOPERATOR AGREEMENTS
FEPP CUSTODIAL AGREEMENTS Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) custodial agreements are an appendix of the county cooperative agreement.
The custodial agreement outlines the provisions of the FEPP program that the county and its cooperators must follow to participate in the program.
STATE COOPERATOR AGREEMENTS
There are other agreements that the Division is not a party to; however, we must be aware of them to understand the local and statewide mutual aid agreements.
INTER-LOCAL MUTUAL AND/OR AUTOMATIC AID AGREEMENTS These agreements involve municipal fire departments and fire districts. The Division is not a party to these agreements. They are normally initial attack assistance and some are all hazard oriented.
Most are reciprocal, in that they do not involve the exchange of funds for the first operational period.
Due to the possibility of exceeding the minimum billing threshold outlined in the CFMA and the Statewide OP, this type of agreement may be the means that incorporated areas receive assistance from other fire agencies that are not state and/or federal.
UTAH FIRE SERVICE INTRASTATE MUTUAL AGREEMENT Many of the Fire Chiefs in Utah have entered into an agreement to provide assistance to fire departments statewide. This agreement is all hazard in nature and has coordinators at the county and regional level.
The Division’s FD Manual & Rates is the rate structure used in the wildland fire financial structure for this agreement.
