body

BACKGROUND:

The City entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement (“Agreement”) with Palm Beach County, dated June 18, 2019, to provide access to the Talk Group on Palm Beach County’s Public Safety Trunked Radio System, which provides critical interoperable communications among municipal and county agencies.

DISCUSSION:

The City and Palm Beach County have determined that the ability to provide interoperable communications is critical to the effective and efficient provision of public safety. It is mutually beneficial to both the City and Palm Beach County to execute this First Amendment to the Agreement, which extends the Agreement for five (5) years to June 17, 2029. The parties desire to further amend the Agreement to provide clarification to the definition of “Municipality Equipment” and provide for a new section regarding “E-verify - employment eligibility,” which is required by law.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this resolution.
