In early 2016 we wrote about the proposed service agreement for fire protection between the City of Pittsburgh and the Borough of Ingram, an agreement that eventually was approved as a five year deal between the two municipalities. Ingram Borough agreed to pay the City $459k through an intergovernmental cooperation agreement.
The terms of that deal are up for amendment this week to a ten year deal with mutual five year renewal opportunities. The Borough will pay $1.1 million over the life of the proposed deal. The deal would expire in April of 2026.
The payment to the City is recorded as part of Intergovernmental Revenue, which is budgeted at $50 million in 2018. About half of that comes from state pension aid ($23 million) and Pittsburgh also has service agreements with the neighboring municipality of Wilkinsburg.
