Title
Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to enter into an Agreement with Racine County, Village of Sturtevant, Village of Mt. Pleasant and Village of Caledonia to consolidate dispatch services
Whereas, the City of Racine, Village of Sturtevant, Village of Mt. Pleasant and Village of Caledonia (the "Municipalities") and Racine County currently have issues related to dispatch services and equipment that must be addressed without significant additional delay; and
Whereas, the residents and referenced "Municipalities" would be best served by one agency providing dispatch services county-wide; and
Whereas, an intergovernmental agreement and detailed contract has been developed to the mutual satisfaction of all parties.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized and directed to enter into an Agreement with the other "Municipalities" for the purpose of consolidating dispatch services for all the "Municipalities" pursuant to Sections 61.65 and 66.0301 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
Fiscal Note: This agreement will result in a reduction in the cost of personnel and equipment while improving services for the city law enforcement and EMS providers.
