Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Law Enforcement Communications Agreement between Cochise County and the Town of Tombstone to provide dispatching services to the Town of Tombstone effective November 17, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
Background:
The Tombstone Marshall spoke with Sheriff Dannels and requested the Sheriff's Office continue to assist in dispatching calls for service for the Tombstone Marshall's Office during the evenings and on weekends. Tombstone is having budget issues and the cost of twenty four hour in-house dispatch is prohibitive.
The Town of Tombstone agrees to pay the County One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($1,250.00) monthly for dispatch services.
Currently, the agreement calls for the Sheriff's Office to dispatch for Tombstone from 4 pm until 8 am on weekdays, 4 pm Fridays until 8 am Mondays on weekends and on holidays from 8 am until 8 am the following day.
This agreement has been agreed to and signed by Sheriff Dannels, Tombstone Mayor Dustin Escapule, Tombstone Marshall Robert Randall and Tombstone City Attorney Randall Bays.
The agreement has been reviewed and signed by Deputy County Attorney Lauri Owen.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Provide dispatching services agreed upon in the agreement.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The Town of Tombstone will suffer a degradation in response to emergency and routine calls for service due to not having sufficient town funds to provide for dispatching services. The citizens of the town and tourists will not get quality law enforcement and medical services.
