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.
