DATE: April 7, 2020
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with Denton County, under the
Government Code, Chapter 791.001, to authorize consolidated communication systems for Public Safety;
authorizing the expenditure of funds therefor; and declaring an effective date (File 7278 – award an
Interlocal Agreement with Denton County).
INFORMATION /BACKGROUND
The City of Denton is currently installing a new, P25 compliant public safety radio communications system
to replace the existing legacy analog radio system. The P25 radio system requires connection to the Denton
County Sheriff Office (DCSO) radio core, located at the DCSO offices in Denton, to provide unified
communications between the County and the City. The City of Lewisville is also identified in the ILA for
the purposes of annual support payments and resource allocation in the form of a technician and vehicle
from the County. DCSO requires that the ILA be reviewed and approved on an annual basis to account for
changes in personnel and resources required to support sections within the ILA.
Section 791 of the Government Code requires that all Cooperative Agreements must be authorized by the
governing body, regardless of the dollar amount.
RECOMMENDATION
Award a contract with Denton County for the new P25 compliant Public Safety Radio System.
