INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
STATE OF TEXAS §
LISD/CITY OF LUBBOCK
COUNTY OF LUBBOCK §
Resolution No. 2006-RO382
August 10, 2006
Item No. 5.8
This Interlocal Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between the Lubbock Independent
School District ("District"), and the City of Lubbock acting by and through its Health
Department ("Department"). The District is an Independent School District organized under
Education code Chapter 11. The Department is a Local Health Department of the City of
Lubbock operated under Chapter 121 of the Health and Safety Code. The Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Government Code Chapter 791, governs this Agreement.
I. Purpose
Under the Metropolitan Medical Response System grant administered by the Texas
Governor's Division of Emergency Management, the Department is required to plan and
prepare for public health emergencies, which may result from natural or man-made causes.
During such and emergency, it may be necessary to immunize or to shelter large numbers of
people in the area served by the District and Department. An Interlocal Agreement exists
between the District and Department allowing the use of LISD facilities during the period of
an emergency. Prior public health experience with mass immunizations and sheltering has
shown that schools are well suited to this activity because: 1) Their location is known to
large numbers of individuals within the community; 2) They have large assembly areas; 3)
They have other necessary facilities such as refrigeration and restrooms.
The City of Lubbock and Lubbock ISD are committed to the health and safety of citizens,
employees and others who use their facilities. In support of this commitment, LISD and
City of Lubbock Health Department will provide an Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) at identified locations throughout the LISD system to make early defibrillation
accessible to individuals who experience sudden cardiac arrest. Until recently, defibrillation
has been a technique practiced only in hospitals or by highly trained emergency personnel.
Technical advancements have now produced highly dependable, simple to use, Automated
External Defibrillators that can be used safely by members of the lay public with appropriate
training. The key to significantly improving cardiac arrest survival rates in adults lies in
increasing the availability of AEDs. The AED units will be installed in LISD buildings
identified for use as immunization clinics or shelters during emergencies declared by the
Commissioner of Health or the local health authority. Portable AED units will also be
provided to designated school personnel and be available during the emergency.
Any payments required to be made pursuant to this Agreement by either party shall be made
from current funds available to the paying party.
II. Obligations of the Department
1) The Department, in conjunction with LISD personnel, will identify locations
for the wall -mounted AED units.
2) The Department will purchase the AED units, wall -mounted cabinets with
alarms, and carrying cases for the portable units.
3) The Department is responsible for first aid and AED training of City
personnel deployed during an emergency to LISD sites utilized as clinics or
shelters.
III. Obligations of the District
1) The District is responsible for the installation, care and maintenance of the
AED units, as proscribed by the manufacturer.
2) The District is responsible for initial and on -going training for LISD
personnel on AED usage.
3) Future replacement of AED units, batteries, electrodes and other related
accessories is the responsibility of the District.
IV. Term
This agreement becomes effective after approval by the governing bodies of the District and
Department as indicated below. It may be canceled by either party by giving thirty days
written notice to the other party, otherwise it remains in effect for five years and may be
renewed by mutual agreement expressed in writing.
This Agreement executed this loth day of August , 2006.
