Title
Consider A Resolution Approving An Amendment To Section 4.02 Of The Consolidated Public Safety Communications And Dispatch Operations Agreement Regarding Cost Allocations For The Operation Of The North Texas Communication Center.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The cities of Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, and Farmers Branch entered into the Consolidated Public Safety Communications and Dispatch Operations Agreement in January 2015. The North Texas Communication Center, Inc. (NTECC) became operational in April 2016 and hosts dispatch services for each of the four cities’ police and fire departments. Section 4.02 of the agreement sets agreed upon cost allocations for the operation of NTECC in which each city pays a specific percentage of the operational costs based on their respective workload. This amendment ensures the original intent of the Agreement is reflected and that a continuation of the cost allocation continues through 2019 and will be revisited in 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial impacts associated with this resolution.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
The approval of this resolution will ensure the continued service of effective dispatch services for the cities of Carrollton, Addison, Coppell and Farmers Branch.
