Resolution/03~~ - Approving First Amendment to Agreement
Between the City of Chula Vista and Montgomery Fire
District for Fire Dispatchin~ Services
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Safety IJJ;/;/ (4/5ths Vote: Yes
At the City Council meeting of October 17, 1978 the Council passed
Resolution #9310 which established an agreement with the Montgomery Fire
District whereby we provided fire dispatching services commencing January
1, 1979. This agreement provided for a payment of $10,000. annually with
the provision that the amount would be reviewed after the first two years
of operation. I have met with the Montgomery Fire District Board and they
have agreed to an increase of 25% for the last six months of this fiscal
year.
ITEM TITLE:
NO~)
Recommendation: That Council:
1.. Adopt Resolution approving first amendment to agreement to
provide for increased payment.
Board/Commission Recommendation: Not Applicable
-Discussion:
Prior to establishing this agreement there were discussions concerning
the best method to determine a basis for dispatching costs. The $10,000.
annual payment that was finally agreed upon was a compromise between the
$15,000. annual payment recommended by the staff and the $800. per month
recommended by the Montgomery Fire District Board.
This. agreement provided for a payment of $10,000. annually wi th the
provision that the amount would be reviewed after the first two years.
Because this agreement commenced on January 1st the payments have been
geared to a calendar year rather than a fiscal year. Our agreements
with National City and Bonita are on a fiscal year basis and it is our
plan to convert the Montgomery agreement to a fiscal year basis effective
July 1, 1981.
Prior to that time we have to determine a proper rate for the six month
period between January 1, 1981 and June 30, 1981. Since we commenced the
Montgomery Agreement the salaries of our Communications Operators has
increased by 25%. Therefore, we recommend that the annual payment be
increased by 25% which would result in an annual charge of $12,500.
Converting this annual figure to six months results in a charge of
$6,250. for the January 1, 1981 through June 30, 1981 period.
I presented this recommendation to the Montgomery Fire District Board at
their November 21st meeting and they voted to accept it.
Now that we are performing Fire dispatching for several departments we
feel that we can develop a dispatching cost that is more directly related
to the percentage: of total service received by each department as it
relates to the total cost of operating the fire dispatch portion of the
Communications Center.
