§ 510. Established
The City Council may establish and operate a Fire/Ambulance Department for the City, subject to the control and supervision of the City Manager, and may, by ordinance, determine of what offices and members this Department may consist; prescribe the time and mode of their appointment and removal; define their powers, duties, and periods of service; fix their compensation; and make such other regulations regarding their conduct and government as they deem expedient. The City may procedure and hold such land, buildings, furniture, engines, ambulances, and other apparatus as may be necessary for the purpose of the Fire and Ambulance Department, and the City Council may, by ordinance, make regulations regarding the use, control, and preservation thereof. The City Council may contract with surrounding and nearby towns, villages, and fire and/or ambulance districts for the use of part or parts of the facilities and equipment of the Fire/Ambulance Department to assist such towns and villages in case of emergency; provided, however, that no assistance shall be rendered to any town or village that does not satisfy within 60 days any obligation to the City for any such past service rendered.
