Re: Resolution 07-25
Summary
Resolution 07-25 authorizes the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement
with the Franklin County Commissioners for the purpose of receiving funds disbursed from the
Wireless 9-1-1 Governmental Assistance Fund for the answering of 9-1-1 calls from wireless
telephones.
Adopted in 2006 and amended in 2008, 2012 and 2023, Ohio Revised Code §128 establishes a
$.40 per month, per wireless, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Multi-line telephone
system (MTLS) line user fee. A percentage of the funds collected are distributed to local public
safety answering points (PSAP’s) for costs associated with providing 9-1-1 services. As directed
by law, the Wireless 9-1-1 Governmental Assistance Fund is administrated by the county
commissioners, with funds being disbursed in accordance with the formula set by the Statewide
9-1-1 Planning Committee. To facilitate disbursement, local agencies are required to maintain a
current intergovernmental agreement. Our most recent agreement expired at the end of 2024.
This new agreement will allow us to continue to receive funding disbursements through
December 31, 2025.
Attached you will find a copy of the proposed intergovernmental agreement between the City of
Dublin and the Franklin County Commissioners. The agreement includes the resolution passed
by the Franklin County 9-1-1 Planning Committee that establishes how funds will be disbursed
to the local governmental entities. Once the intergovernmental agreement is executed by the
parties, Franklin County will continue disbursements on a monthly basis for the duration of the
year. Disbursements received from the Wireless 9-1-1 Governmental Assistance Fund must be
used in accordance with Revised Code §128.571 which includes those costs incurred in the
designing, upgrading, purchasing and maintaining equipment as well as the training of staff
provide 9-1-1 services in compliance with statewide PSAP technical and operational standards.
Up to fifty percent of the disbursements received may be used for personnel costs once all
equipment purchases have been completed.
