CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION <br />Minutes of August 11, 2014 —Regular Meeting <br />Page 10 of 20 <br />Budget Impact: Funds have been allocated in the proposed FY 2015 Budget in the Police Department Other <br />Contractual Services -Sheriff Dispatch account #001-0610-521.34-09. <br />Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding whether the continuation of utilizing the Sheriff s Office for <br />dispatch services was still cost effective in light of what other cities are paying for the service. Mr. Newlon <br />explained that some of the other cities had arrangements with the Sheriffs Office to exchange dispatch <br />services for the opportunity to co -locate Sheriff s Office personnel within a city facility. He stated that if the <br />City eventually relocates the Police Department and there is space for such an arrangement, it would be looked <br />into at that time. However, he said the determination to outsource the dispatch function to the Sheriffs Office <br />had been made as a result of downsizing and establishing more cost efficiencies in response to the recession, <br />and the cost to the City had been basically cut in half. He added that if the City were to provide the service <br />itself, the cost would most likely be twice what is being proposed, and outsourcing it to the Sheriff s Office is <br />still the most cost effective way to accomplish the need at this time. <br />Recommendation: The City Manager and the Police Chief recommended approval of Resolution 14-2642. <br />MOTION: Commissioner Aramendia moved to approve Resolution 14-2642, as presented. <br />Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Hufford. Motion carried unanimously by <br />voice vote 5-0. <br />8. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A. Future Agenda Items <br />No items were presented for consideration. <br />B.
