Title
Consideration of and action on an agreement with the City of Deer Park for FCPEMSD Personnel, Vehicles, Facilities, Equipment, and Investments.
Body
Summary:
In May of 2011 the citizens of Deer Park voted to create the Deer Park Fire Control, Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District. In November of 2011 the City Council and the FCPEMSD Board of Directors entered into an agreement for Personnel, Vehicles, Facilities and Equipment. The FCPEMSD has no staff and rather than duplicate services, the City and FCPEMSD entered into this agreement, whereby, the City performs administrative services for the district such as purchasing and hiring and supervising employees. The original agreement was for the 2011-2012 fiscal year but contained a provision allowing the parties to amend the agreement. The agreement was amended four times as follows: in 2012 for FY 2012-2013, in 2013 for FY 2013-2014, in 2014 for FY 2014-2015, in 2015 for FY 2015-2016.
In May of 2016 the citizens of Deer Park voted to continue the FCPEMSD for a period of ten (10) years. It is now proposed that a new agreement between the City and the FCPEMSD be considered as opposed to continuing to amend the original agreement each year. The proposed new agreement is attached. The adopted FY 2016-2017 Budget is also attached as Exhibit A. Funding comes from the dedicated 1/4% sales and use tax.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
The cost of all of the FCPEMSD's programs for FY 2016-2017 will come from the dedicated FCPEMSD 1/4% sales and use tax.
Recommended action
Approve the agreement.
