In the event of a disaster when there is a request for assistance in territory outside the City limits of Olathe, including outside the State of Kansas, the City Manager, or his or her designee, may authorize the City to provide assistance as may be allowed under the authority granted the City by K.S.A. 12-16, 117, with all the privileges and immunities provided therein. Assistance may include any form of City service including, but not limited to, police, fire, emergency medical services, public works, administrative and clerical.

The City will only provide assistance if it can do so without unduly jeopardizing the protection of its own community.

Nothing in this section is intended to conflict or circumvent any existing interlocal agreement, any automatic aid, intergovernmental or mutual aid agreement, or any authority to enter into those agreements in the future. (Ord. 05-40 § 6, 2005; Ord. 96-33 § 2, 1996.)
