Title
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI TO ALLOW THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT TO JOIN THE METROPOLITAN REGIONAL RADIO SYSTEM. (F&BC 11-6-17)
Body
Issue/Request:
This agreement authorizes the City of Lee's Summit to join the Metropolitan Area Regional Radio System (MARRS).
Key Issues:
Joining the Metropolitan Area Regional Radio System (MARRS) system as a "User Agency", requires a reimbursement to the "Host Agency" (Kansas City, MO) for maintenance and anticipated costs for the use of the existing Host Agency system master site. This cost is shared throughout the Metropolitan area by all users and our "port" fees (currently/per port $12,188.77) are identical to that of all the other "User Agencies". The cost model is projected out to the year 2021 with a slight increase of 3.23% each year for all participants.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI AND THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI TO ALLOW THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT TO JOIN THE METROPOLITAN REGIONAL RADIO SYSTEM.

Proposed Committee Motion:

Background:
Currently, the City of Lee’s Summit operates on a Motorola conventional UHF simulcast system with two tower sites. The current system was upgraded in 2011 by the City but doesn’t have direct interoperability with MARRS. The City of Lee's Summit placed a bond issue on the November 2016 ballot for improving the public saftey radio system, which was passed by voters. This agreement is a continuation of that process to improve the Lee's Summit radio system and join MARRS. (F&BC 11-6-17)
