Item 4E
M E M O R A N D U M
June 10, 2009
TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Robert Finn, Chief of Police
Recommend approval of an Interlocal Agreement
SUBJECT:
Action Requested:
Recommendation to City Council to approve an interlocal
agreement for participation in the Northeast Tarrant
County Training Consortium between the cities of
Bedford, Euless, Grapevine, Hurst, North Richland Hills,
Haltom City, Keller, Southlake, Watauga, Richland Hills,
Roanoke, and Colleyville.
Background
Information:
The proposed agreement will formalize a training
program for police officers to ensure all mandated
training occurs to maintain licenses and meet the training
needs of local police officers
This agreement will allow the member cities to secure
higher quality instructors and share the costs associated
with putting on training programs. The original
agreement was signed by member cities in September,
2007 while Southlake Police has not been an official
member we have participated in training programs
offered by the Consortium and believe membership and
the associated voting privileges will ensure we have a
voice in the training programs offered to officers.
Financial
Considerations:
No direct funding is requested as part of the proposed
2009 Agreement. Any work done by employees for the
consortium is considered work done for the City of
Southlake. The cost of equipment and supplies is shared
by the city on a percentage basis based on sworn
officers.
Financial Impact:
Combining training efforts with other municipalities will
reduce our training registration costs over time.
