6!9/2015 Item Coversheet Police Department 15-32 DATE: 6/9/2015 TO: Michael T. McElroy,Mayor Timothy A. Gleason,City Manager FROM: Bradley L. Sweeney,Chief of Police SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement between the Decatur,Illinois Police Department and the Macon County Sheriff's Department for calendar year 2016-2019 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The purpose of this memorandum is to request the approval of an intergovernmental agreement between the Decatur,Illinois Police Department and the Macon County Sheriff's Department for dispatching services. BACKGROUND: The Decatur Police Department previously had a communications and records services contract between the Macon County Sheriff's Office and the Decatur Police Department. In June of 2014,the Decatur Police Department moved to a new building at 707 W. South Side Drive. The new building allowed ample storage and space for the Decatur Police Department to handle its own record keeping. Thus,the prior communications and records service contract is no longer in effect. However,the Macon County Sheriff's desires to enter into a contractual agreement with the City of Decatur for obtaining well-trained and well-equipped telecommunication employees to provide communications and dispatching services for all Macon County Emergency Responders residing outside of the corporate limits of Decatur,Illinois. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None Anticipated SCHEDULE: The proposed intergovernmental contract is for calendar years 2016-2019. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The intergovernmental agreement includes a$350,000 yearly payment to be made to the Decatur Police Department for calendar years 2016 through 2019. The intergovernmental agreements were approved by the Macon County Board on May 14,2015,and may be executed immediately. The Decatur Police Department has been providing dispatching services since the 1990's through current day without any interruption in these services. The execution of this intergovernmental agreement will have nominal affect on the day to day operations of the communication center, as it will be business as usual. STAFF REFERENCE: Bradley L.
