Approve State of MN Joint Powers Agreements with the City of Ramsey on behalf of its Police Department.

The City of Ramsey on behalf of its Police Department desires to enter into Joint Powers Agreements (JPA) with the State of Minnesota, Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to use systems and tools available over the State’s criminal justice data communications network (CJDN) for which the City is eligible.  The JPA further provides the City with the ability to add, modify and delete connectivity, systems and tools over the five year life of the agreement and obligates the City to pay the costs for the network connection.

This is a renewal of existing JPAs between the parties.
 

The JPA's are required for the Police Department to receive and submit criminal justice data from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and MN Courts.  This JPA was last updated on 5/5/2021.  If there are changes in city leadership or other signing parties, these documents need to be updated.

CJDN access fees are budgeted for annually and there are no additional costs.

Approve Resolution #22-179 and sign attached JPA's so these services can continue.

Approve Resolution #22-179.
