Title
Combined Communications Center Budget Approval (B)
Explanation
Section 3A of the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Gainesville, the Alachua County Sheriff, and Alachua County for a Combined Communications Center (CCC) requires that the initial budget for the CCC be approved prior to the commencement of operations. This budget was prepared by the Sheriff and is being submitted to both the City Commission and the County Commission for adoption by resolution.
Fiscal Note
The projected City share of the CCC for FY 2001 is $2,532,643. This projection is based on a proposed total estimated budget of $5,033,616 and a forecasted City call load ratio of 51% applied to that budget adjusted for non-City related expenses. The City will make monthly payments to the County/ASO based on one twelfth (1/12) of its share of the approved CCC budget for the year. A true up will be done at the end of the year based on actual expenditures and actual call load.
FY 2001 City funding for the Combined Communications Center will come from the following sources:
FY 2001 GPD Communications Center Appropriation -$2,054,884
FY 2001 General Fund Fund Balance - $277,759
FY 2001 Fleet Reserve Fund - $200,000
Total FY 2001 Projected City Share - $2,532,643
Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the resolution approving the initial budget for the Combined Communications Center.
