Subject:

Resolution 25-R-094 - Authorizing an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the City of Cibolo for Dispatch Services. (S.Williams/J.Lowery/D.Roman)

BACKGROUND

This resolution seeks to authorize the Fifth Amendment to the existing Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Cibolo for dispatch services. The original ILA was executed in 2010 (Resolution 10-R-49) and has been amended in 2015 (15-R-54), 2016 (16-R-24), 2019 (19-R-90), and again in 2024 (24-R-106). This amendment will authorize the City Manager to implement the fee adjustments specified in the Interlocal Agreement for Dispatch Services, specifically in Article 1, Section F, for each subsequent renewal term. The fee collection is based on the average weighted salaries of current employees and the percentage of service calls dispatched during the previous calendar year. Any future modifications to the Interlocal Agreement, except those related to fee calculations or adjustments, will still require City Council approval.

GOAL

The goal of this resolution is to amend the existing ILA with the City of Cibolo for dispatch services based upon the weighted salaries of dispatch personnel and call-for-service distribution, and authorize the City Manager to implement the fee changes for dispatch services at each subsequent renewal term outlined in the Interlocal Agreement for Dispatch Services, Article 1. F. Payment for Dispatch Services.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

The community benefits from the collection of fees related to the dispatch service costs for the City of Cibolo.

Estimated value of the agreement for FY2025-26 is $493,000.00.
