  Town of Huntersville
REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
10/16/2017

REVIEWED:

To:                  The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners

From:              Gerald D. Vincent, Town Manager

Subject:          Charlotte-Mecklenburg Communication & Record Management Services Contract


In February 2017 the Town received information from the City of Charlotte CMPD indicating an increase in dispatch from the current contract of $289,212 to $688,613.  The proposed increase led staff to consider options available with neighboring jurisdictions.  The neighboring jurisdictions were narrowed down to two, Iredell County and the Town of Cornelius.  Both jurisdictions were willing to accommodate the Town of Huntersville's request, but there were significant costs to provide the infrastructure ranging from $500,000 to $700,000 plus.

 

Discussions remained between the City of Charlotte and the Town of Huntersville, mainly with Marcus Jones, City Manager and his staff.  The attached agreement provides the final negotiated offer establishing a 5-year term with fiscal year 2018-19 at $300,000 and increases of 3 percent each year thereafter.  The proposed offer establishes known budget amounts for the next 5 years and significant savings from the one-time costs of infrastructure ranging from $500,000 to $700,000 with our neighboring jurisdictions.


ACTION RECOMMENDED: 

Authorize the Town Manager to sign the Agreement as presented.

 
 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Board of Commissioners will appropriate funds on an annual basis (FY18-19 $300,000).
