i ` � Request for Council Action Date: 04/09/2001 Item Number: C-3 Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section �'�� /� Consent Item Description: c.,oN PROJECT JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT Back�round The City of Roseville, as part of the State of Minnesota Criminal Justice Defense Network (CJDN) Upgrade Project, was provided certain equipment that was used to set up the network connections to the State for CJIS access. This equipment was given to the City (designated as the agency) with the understanding that it would become agency properiy and that a11 further maintenance and support would come from the agency and not the State. A Joint Powers Agreement officially transfers the equipment from the State of Minnesota to the City of Roseville. Policy Implications The Council's policy has been well articulated that the City shall engage in cooperative agreements where it is in the community's best interest to do so. As this connection is required for the Roseville Police Department to participate fully in the upgraded network, and as a result of the equipment provided by the State of Minnesota, law enforcement not only in Roseville, but throughout the north metro area will benefit. Financial The only fiscal concern is the maintenance required by the City, and it is determined that most of that service can be rendered by city staff resulting in no increased cost. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the CJDN Project Joint Powers Agreement, transferring ownership of certain communications switch equipment from the State of Minnesota to the City of Roseville. Council Action Requested Motion approving the CJDN Project Joint Powers Agreement and to authorize the Mayor and the Acting City Manager to sign the agreement upon a final review by the City Attorney.
