DATE: March 10, 2023
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Aurora and the Village of North Aurora for Public Safety Platform and Information Technology Related Support Services.
PURPOSE:
Since at least 2010, the City has been providing a Public Safety Platform and Information Technology Related Support Services (911 services) to the Village of North Aurora (VoNA). This IGA formalizes this relationship and provides for standardized pricing of those 911 services.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Aurora has been providing dispatch services, radio network support, software licensing and access to the Illinois State Police Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS) to VoNA since at least 2010. Chargeback by the City to VoNA for these services during this time was done on an annual basis but was never formally put forth in an IGA.
DISCUSSION:
Discussions to formalize this agreement between Police and IT personnel from the City and VoNA began in 2020 as VoNA was exploring the potential of utilizing 911 services from the City. At that time many discussions occurred between the two municipalities and software vendors on developing a usage-based pricing model. However, not all of the software vendors were able to delineate usage by municipality.
These discussions ultimately lead to the proposed model which is based upon the percentage of sworn officers between the two municipalities. It was also agreed that an annual service level review (SLR) will be conducted between the two municipalities to ensure alignment on services rendered by the City and appropriate pricing for those services.
This IGA would become effective in January, 2024 with billing for 2023 services to be presented in February, 2024...
