Presenter(s):
Keith Flewelling, Executive Director, TCOMM911
Wendy Hill, Deputy Director, TCOMM911
Background and Analysis:
The agreement is between and among all Thurston County public safety agencies for TCOMM911 to provide 911 call intake, dispatch services and first responder communications for the entire county.
The presentation will discuss the amendment process and proposed recommended amendments. The Bylaw/IGA working group recommended most of the changes that will presented.
The remaining recommendations resulted from the successful passage of the emergency communications sales/use tax measure. The current IGA has references to the original 1/10th percent which requires modification to accommodate the new level of taxation.
All recommendations were reviewed and approved by the Administration Board of Directors. A group of City Attorneys and the County Attorney have also reviewed and approved the recommendations.
If the Council are agreeable to the amendments, the agreement will go before the City Council for approval at the February 2, 2021 City Council meeting.
