| Subject: | Resolution 24-R-57 - Approving an amendment to the interlocal agreement (ILA) between the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and the City of Schertz (S.Williams/J.Lowery). |
BACKGROUND
The current ILA between the LCRA and the City of Schertz was effective June 1, 2012, and the term of said ILA expires May 31, 2024. We wish to continue working with LCRA and utilize their 700MHz/800MHz trunked radio systems, which provide statewide interconnectivity and is a key communication link between public safety entities through the Central Texas Region. This amendment will extend the term of the agreement.
GOAL
Amend the LCRA ILA issued June 12, 2014, which expires May 31, 2024.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Ensures all aspects of public safety and city services maintain radio communication.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The ILA between the LCRA and the City of Schertz will expire May 31, 2024, and we need to secure 700Mhz/800MHz trunked radio communications for continued 24/7/365 operational periods for public safety that has state interoperability; therefore, we need to extend the current ILA term.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution 24-R-57.
