Title
Consideration of and action on an amendment to the agreement with the Crime Control Prevention District (CCPD) for Personnel, Vehicles, Facilities, Equipment, and Investments.
Body
Summary:
In May of 2011 the citizens of Deer Park voted to create the Deer Park Crime Control Prevention District (CCPD). In November of 2011 the City Council and the CCPD Board of Directors entered into an agreement for Personnel, Vehicles, Facilities and Equipment. The CCPD has no staff and rather than duplicate services, the City and CCPD 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 CCPD for a period of ten (10) years. In October 2016 a new agreement between the City and the CCPD was approved rather than continuing to amend the original agreement each year. For FY 2017-2018 an amendment to the agreement is proposed. The adopted FY 2017-2018 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 CCPD's programs for FY 2017-2018 will come from the dedicated CCPD 1/4% sales and use tax.
Recommended action
Approve the amendment to the agreement.
