Re: Resolution 70-25 – Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an
Intergovernmental Agreement with the Franklin County Commissioners for
the Administration of Wireless 9-1-1 Government Assistance Funds
Summary
Attached for Council’s consideration is Resolution 70-25, authorizing 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 most recently amended in 2024, Ohio Revised Code §128 establishes a
$.60 per month, per communication device capable of accessing 9-1-1 services. This fee
amount is an increase from the previous $.40 per month, effective September 29, 2025. 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 expires at the end of 2025. This new agreement will
allow us to continue to receive funding disbursements through December 31, 2026.
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 who
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.
Recommendation
Recommend passage of Resolution 70-25.
