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. 4E - 1 Shana Yelverton Interlocal Agreement Page 2 of 7 Citizen Input/ Board Review: No citizen input or board review was conducted for this request Legal Review: This agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
