RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager on behalf of the City, to execute Amendment No. 10 to Agreement No. C2013-363 in the amount of $2,687,915, increasing the agreement in an amount not to exceed of $29,695,303; and extending the service term to July 1, 2026 - June 30, 2027 for Public Safety Dispatching Services between the City of Napa and the County of Napa.
Body
DISCUSSION:
The City of Napa Police Department Communications Center is the primary public safety answering point for all 911 emergency calls for the City of Napa, City of American Canyon, Town of Yountville, and all unincorporated areas of Napa County.
The County of Napa currently contracts for Public Safety Dispatching Services with the City of Napa under City Agreement No.C2013 363 (Napa County Agreement No. 170799B) effective August 6, 2013. The County of Napa originally contracted with the City of Napa for Dispatching Services in July 1986. The recommended action is to extend the Agreement for one additional year to continue the services from
July 1, 2026- June 30, 2027.
Utilizing the actual costs from FY 2019-2020, the cost allocation plan will be updated to capture the total cost of the City of Napa’s Communications Center and the percentage breakdown of the calls for service to determine the cost to the County and other contract agencies. The dispatching services charge of $2,628,399 includes a 5% cost of living increase and $59,516 for the shared cost of Mark43, a Records Management System (RMS) for each fiscal year, for a total cost of services of $2,687,915 for FY2026/2027.
Centralized dispatching has eliminated service duplication and achieves cost savings and operational efficiencies to the benefit of Napa County, the City of Napa, and residents. During the next fiscal year, the City of Napa and the County of Napa will continue to cooperate and collaborate on upgrade/replacement of technology systems, reduce staffing level shortages and continue to provide high quality 911 first responder services to the population of Napa County.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This Action positively impacts the General Fund increasing revenue in the Police Department’s budget in the amount of $2,687,915 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in General Fund account 10021400-43420. Funds were budgeted through the normal budget process.
CEQA:
The Police Chief has determined that the Recommended Action described in this Agenda Report is not subject to CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c).
