Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a four-year interlocal agreement with the Texas Department of Public Safety for a technician to operate and maintain breath alcohol testing instruments for the City of League City in an amount not to exceed $400,000 (Chief of Police)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will extend the current Interlocal Agreement from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023 and authorize Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) a technician to operate and maintain breath alcohol testing instruments for the City of League City in an amount not to exceed $400,000. On August 14, 2018, City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement between the City of League City and DPS to secure funding for a Breath Alcohol Technical Supervisor (BATS) employed by DPS. Although the Interlocal Agreement is between the City of League City and DPS, additional entities share the cost of this program equally to include Friendswood, Webster, Seabrook, South Houston, Texas City, Pearland, and Galveston County. Each entity pays an annual amount to League City, and then League City pays DPS for the services of BATS so that DPS has a single point of contact. Through the Interlocal Agreement, League City receives the benefit of a BATS who serves as an independent contractor rather than an employee of League City as it was prior to this Agreement being approved in 2018.
CONTRACT ORIGINATION: Approved by the City Attorney’s Office
