This agreement is for three years and will renew for successive periods of one-year unless Fox Valley Park District Police Department wishes to withdraw and terminate the agreement.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The impact on staff will be minimal. Fox Valley Park District Police will pay $30,000.00 annually which includes all calls for service per year. Fox Valley Park District Police will maintain the radios they own and will be responsible for any upgrades needed to work with the Aurora Police Departments system.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff requests approval of this resolution.
