2) Establishing the fiscal and operating agent. This requirement designates a member agency to <br />oversee the operations of the network and manage its resources including finances, acquisition of <br />property and equipment, human resources, and supervision of shared technical staff. This <br />eliminates the costs associated with establishing a separate entity charged with these <br />responsibilities. <br />The primary purpose of the board is unchanged from that of the current ad hoc Metro -INET <br />Users Group. By establishing the joint powers board the multiple agreements between Roseville <br />and each participating agency (17 in all) would effectively be replaced by this agreement, <br />insuring the continued operations of Metro -INET in the absence of Roseville or any other <br />agency. <br />The acquisition of these services via these means has been advantageous to the City in terms of <br />cost and efficiency, has kept necessary staff to a minimum and has provided excellent response <br />to our needs on a 24/7 basis. To continue to facilitate the operation of the City's computer and <br />phone systems through this cooperative venture, staff is recommending the the City Council <br />approve this agreement by August 1. Staff will be available to discuss the agreement at the work <br />session and, if necessary, bring in a representative from Roseville at the July 26 work session to <br />answer any remaining questions. <br />
