Gladstone City Council Approves Facilities Agreement with Clackamus Fire District, Finalizing Annexation

The Gladstone City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Clackamus Fire District Number One for facilities, finalizing the city's annexation into the fire district. The agreement ensures the Gladstone Fire Station at 555 Portland Avenue remains operational under Clackamus Fire. Key aspects include a 99-year term with automatic renewal, the transfer of vehicles and equipment valued at $43,500 from Clackamus Fire to the city for building maintenance credits, and defined responsibilities for insurance, waste disposal, utilities, and property maintenance. The agreement also includes provisions for the city to offer the property to the district first if it decides to sell, with specific terms for reimbursement of depreciated value. Minor language clarifications were made to the agreement before its approval.
