Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an Interlocal Agreement with a consortium of local governmental entities regarding the funding of a Breath Alcohol Technical Supervisor (Chief of Police)
Background:
In 2014, the City of League City authorized an Interlocal Agreement for the funding of a Breath Alcohol Technical Supervisor (BATS) with the entities of Friendswood, Webster, Seabrook, South Houston, Clute, Texas City, Pearland and Galveston County. League City no longer employs a BATS, and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) offered to employ a BATS to service the governmental entities in this area. DPS advised that it would enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the League City to have a single point of contact to service the governmental entities previously listed above with the exception of Clute.
The Interlocal agreement with these government entities will secure funding for a BATS employed by DPS. Each entity will pay an annual amount to League City, and then League City will pay DPS for the services of the BATS. Through this Interlocal Agreement, League City receives the benefit of a BATS who will be a independent contractor rather than an employee of League City.
