Mokena Fire Protection District Meeting | September 2025
Article Summary: The Mokena Fire Protection District will continue its partnership with the Tinley Park Fire Department for vehicle maintenance after its Board of Trustees approved a five-year renewal of an intergovernmental agreement. The pact allows the departments to share resources and expertise for servicing their emergency fleets.
Intergovernmental Agreement Key Points:
-
The Mokena Fire Board unanimously approved renewing a five-year fleet maintenance agreement with the Tinley Park Fire Department.
-
The agreement promotes efficiency and resource sharing between the two neighboring public safety agencies.
The Mokena Fire Protection District Board of Trustees on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, unanimously voted to renew a long-standing partnership with a neighboring community for the upkeep of its emergency vehicles.
The board approved a five-year extension of its fleet maintenance intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Village of Tinley Park Fire Department. This agreement allows Mokena to utilize Tinley Park’s maintenance facilities and personnel to service its fire engines, trucks, and ambulances, representing a significant cost-saving and resource-sharing measure.
Intergovernmental agreements are common among local governments as a way to avoid duplicating expensive services and specialized staff. The motion to continue the agreement was made by Trustee Robert Hennessy and seconded by Trustee Craig Warning, ensuring the cooperative relationship will continue for another five years.
