Title:

Request Support for a County-Wide Integrated Public Safety Information System

Background:

The current Anoka County public safety databases are aging and outdated after having been implemented in the 1990's. The Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council (JLEC) is currently researching a comprehensive shared public information system that would be used by law enforcement, fire, jail, dispatch and emergency preparedness. The JLEC and the Anoka County Board support a legislative change to allow the use of the specific bonding authority provided in Minnesota State Statute to fund the county-wide system. This bonding measure was previously used by Anoka County to purchase the 800MHz radio system.
 
 
Representatives of the Joint Law Enforcement Council will be at tonight's meeting to give a presentation seeking the support of Anoka County cities for the legislative change to allow for transparency in the property tax statements regarding the funding of this project and to update the public safety records systems.   A resolution is attached to this case which, if adopted by Council, will support the comprehensive shared public information system and legislative change to allow specific bonding authority for the project.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution.

Funding Source:

No new funding is being sought from the cities for this project.  Answers to questions regarding funding can be found in the Anoka County Public Safety Data System attachment.

Council Action:

Motion to adopt Resolution #11-03-XXX showing support of a comprehensive shared public safety information system and legislative change to allow specific bonding authority for the project.
