Item Approve Contract Agreement for Police Services with the City of St. Anthony for calendar year 2015-2019. Description The present Police Services Contract with the City of St. Anthony will expire at the end of 2014. As part of the agreement, both cities attempt to have the next contract in place by mid-summer of the previous year for budget planning purposes. From a Falcon Heights Staff perspective, it has been a pleasure working with the St. Anthony City Staff on negotiations for this contract. It is staff’s opinion that the attached agreement with St. Anthony for Police Services is fair and equitable. This year, the cities discussed the possibility of an extended contract in the range of 5 years. The agreement before the Council would be for 5 years. If the proposed increase from the City of St. Anthony in any of the 5 years is above 3%, the contract in its entirety can be re-opened for negotiation. Also, the City of Falcon Heights has retained the right to terminate the contract by providing notice to St. Anthony before July 15th of each year. The partnership between Falcon Heights and St. Anthony for the providing of Police services has worked well for a number of years now and this agreement provides long- term stability for these quality Police Services in the Community. The City Attorney has also reviewed the agreement. It is staff’s recommendation that Council approve the Contract Agreement for Police Services for 2015-2019 with the City of St. Anthony. Budget Impact The proposed contract includes a 2.8% increase over the past year’s contract. This increase will be budgeted for in the 2015 Budget. Any annual increases under 3% will be budgeted for in future budgets. Attachment Contract Agreement for Police Services Action(s) Requested Approve the Contract Agreement for Police Services for 2014-2019 with the City of St. Anthony and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute any related documents.
