Monday evening, Plymouth City Attorney Jeff Houin presented a resolution to amend the Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services agreement between the City of Plymouth and West Township, which the Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously approved.

Houin said the current agreement has been in place since 2013. West Township Trustee Terry Borggren recently contacted the city with an updated inventory of the township's equipment and vehicles, requesting that the agreement be updated to reflect the new schedule.

The only change to the agreement is Schedule A, which contains the list of vehicles and equipment owned by the township. No other modifications were made to the existing agreement.

Houin also noted that Center Township Trustee Amy Knapp will be updating her township's agreement with the city in the next month to include a current Schedule A listing of the township's vehicles and equipment as well.

The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously approved the resolution to update the agreement.

Schedule A includes:

1983 Ford 3,000-gallon tanker

2008 International 3,000-gallon tanker

1998 Pierce Pumper and equipment

1990 Chevrolet Grass Rig

2010 Ford Grass Rig

100-watt radio, model number PM 1500

10 – Motorola 800 MHz portable radios
