Third Amendment to Interlocal Agreement Between the City of Gainesville, the Alachua County Sheriff, and Alachua County for a Combined Communications Center (B)
This item requests the City Commission’s authorization to enter into a Third Amended Interlocal Agreement with the Alachua County Sheriff and Alachua County for a Combined Communications Center.
Explanation
The City of Gainesville, the Alachua County Sheriff, and Alachua County entered into an Interlocal Agreement for a Combined Communications Center (CCC) on May 12, 2009. After approval by the City Commission, the parties executed the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement on August 23, 2011, which modified the provisions that provided for small users to participate in the CCC and to incorporate a funding mechanism for a capital replacement schedule. A Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement was approved by City Commission on December 6, 2012.
The parties now wish to enter into a third amendment to the original agreement, modifying the provision relating to a “small user” to allow municipalities that do not meet the definition of a small user to make a request of the Executive Board of their desire to receive services from the center. Prior to entering into an Interlocal Agreement with a municipality that does not meet the definition of a small user, the Sheriff will evaluate and report to the Administrative Board the fiscal and service level impact to the CCC partners. The amendment also authorizes the Sheriff to enter into Interlocal Agreements with the University of Florida and Santa Fe College for call-taking and dispatch services for their police departments.
Fiscal Note
The amendment will change the frequency of billing and the methodology of truing-up costs at the end of the fiscal year. There is no monetary increase in the City's obligation due to the adoption of the amendment.
Recommendation
The City Commission authorize the Mayor to execute a Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Gainesville, the Alachua County Sheriff, and Alachua County for a Combined Communications Center.
