1�� <br />Request for Council Action <br />Date: 01/08/01 <br />Item Number: C-7 <br />Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section <br />Richard B. Gasaway <br />�/� <br />Consent <br />Item Description: Renewal of Fire Department Dispatching Agreement with the City of St. Paul <br />Backqround: Since 1995, the Roseville Fire Department has contracted dispatching services <br />through the City of St. Paul Emergency Communications Center. Satisfactory service is <br />provided under this arrangement. Contracting for fire dispatching services with another <br />public partner is very economical and provides a professional value-added service. <br />Policy Objective: This is a renewal of an existing contract. The cost of services is $25,000 for <br />the first 1,000 emergency calls dispatched, then $25 per call for each emergency call <br />exceeding 1,000. As a point of reference for Council, the fire department responded to 610 <br />calls for the year 2000. <br />Financial: The cost of dispatching services is included in the annual operating budget for the <br />fire department. The new contract represents no increase in the cost of service. <br />Staff Recommendation: Staff recommendation is to approve the renewal of the dispatching <br />contract with the City of St. Paul. <br />Council Action Requested: Motion to authorize the Mayor and Acting City Manager to sign the <br />Fire Dispatching Agreement renewal with the City of St. Paul, upon final review by the City <br />Attorney. <br />
