Department Approval <br />�. � � <br />Item Description <br />BACKGROUND <br />�� <br />„�,, 1 � � � <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: O1/28/13 <br />Item No.: � q <br />City Manager Approval <br />Consider Approving a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Mahtomedi <br />Minnesota State Statute 471.59 authorizes political subdivisions of the State to enter into joint powers <br />agreements (JPA) for the joint exercise of powers that are common to each. Over the past several months, <br />the City of Mahtomedi and the City of Roseville have held on-going discussions in regards to the sharing of <br />information technology support services. <br />The City of Roseville currently employs ten full-time employees and one part-time employee to administer <br />the information systems for the City of Roseville and twenty seven (27) other municipal and governmental <br />agencies. The proposed JPA with the City of Mahtomedi is similar to the other Agreements in both <br />structure and substance. <br />The attached JPA has been approved by the City of Mahtomedi and is awaiting approval from the Roseville <br />City Council. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />Joint cooperative ventures are consistent with past practices as well as the goals and strategies outlined in <br />the Imagine Roseville 2025 process. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />The proposed JPA provides non-tax revenues to support City operations. The hourly rates charged to other <br />cities or entities are more than the cost of a City employee; yet substantially lower than could be obtained <br />from private companies — hence the value to other cities is greater. <br />There is no budget impact. The presence of the JPA along with existing revenue sources is sufficient to <br />fund the City's added personnel and related information systems costs related to the contracted services. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Council approve the attached JPA. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
