911 Interlocal Agreement Amendment 03-08-10 v • AGENDA ITEM#4B MARCH 8,2010 STAFF REPORT City of Atlantic Beach Commission Meeting AGENDA ITEM: 9-1-1 Inter-Local Agreement FY 2009-2010 DATE: February 26, 2010 SUBMITTED BY: Michael D. Classey- Chief of Police BACKGROUND: Duval County collects a user fee on all telephone lines in the county to offset the expenses of providing E911 services. Jacksonville purchases the E911 emergency equipment for the answering stations including the three beach cities. Each year,Jacksonville reimburses the cities of Atlantic Beach,Neptune Beach,and Jacksonville Beach 30%of their personnel costs for Emergency Communication Operators. We have agreed on a reimbursement of the expenses for emergency communications based on 30%of the calls attributed to E911. On a quarterly basis,the cities provide documentation of their emergency communications expenses including salary,benefits,and training. Jacksonville reimburses 30% of those costs. The actual number in the attached paperwork is a"not to exceed"figure,provided by the city. The number is generally inflated to assure that it will cover the reimbursements over the next year. The actual reimbursement is based on the actual expenses incurred by the city. BUDGET: The net effect of this contract is that it will provide up to $102,200 in revenue to the City of Atlantic Beach over the next year,with a maximum increase of 8%per year through the year 2014. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the approval of the Inter-Local Agreement for the Distribution of 9-1-1 Funds for Call-Taker Salaries, including the authorization for the Mayor and City Manager to sign the paperwork.
