Brautigam, City Manager DATE: May 31, 2007 Memo INITIATED BY: Mike Epperson, Deputy City Manager /Chief of Police Jay Somerville, Police Bureau Director RE: Ordinance 36 -07, Intergovernmental Agreement for Wireless 9 -1 -1 Reimbursement Summary Attached for your consideration is Ordinance 36 -07, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Franklin County Commissioners for the purpose of receiving reimbursement for costs associated with the taking of 9 -1 -1 calls from wireless phones. In 2006, House Bill 361 established a $.32 per month user fee on every wireless phone bill to reimburse local public safety answering points for costs associated with receiving 9 -1 -1 calls from wireless phones. As directed by the bill, the Wireless 9 -1 -1 Government Assistance Fund is administrated by the county commissioners, with funds being disbursed to local agencies via intergovernmental agreements. Attached you will find a copy of the proposed intergovernmental agreement between the City of Dublin and the Franklin County Commissioners. This agreement includes a breakdown of the costs to be reimbursed to the City of Dublin (Exhibit "A "). The costs listed in Exhibit "A" represent a reimbursement request for costs already incurred by the City to purchase software, purchase equipment and provide staff training necessary to become a primary public safety answering point for 9 -1 -1 calls placed from wireless phones. Currently, all calls placed to 9 -1 -1 from a wireless phone are routed to the Columbus Police Radio Room or the Franklin County Sheriff's Communications Center. Once this agreement is executed, 9 -1 -1 calls placed from wireless phones that are in and around the Dublin area will be routed directly to the Dublin Police Communications Center without transfer. Future costs incurred by the City that are a direct result of providing wireless 9 -1 -1 answering are also recoverable under this agreement through December 31, 2007. It is expected that the City and Franklin County will enter into a new agreement later this year to cover the period from January 1 through December 31, 2008. Expenses incurred beyond 2008 will not be recoverable, as a sunset provision in House Bill 361 will end the collection of the monthly user fee. Recommendation Recommend passage of Ordinance 36 -07.
