TO:City of New Port Richey City Council
FROM:Robert Kochen, Chief of Police
DATE:9/3/2024
RE:Approval of Updated Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) User Access Agreement w/Central Square Technologies LLC and Pasco County Board of Commissioners (BOCC)

REQUEST:

The request before the City Council is to approve the updated CAD user access agreement with the BOCC and Central Square Technologies for integrated county police and fire dispatch services.



DISCUSSION
:

On 4-16-24 the City Council approved this agreement; however, the county has made some housekeeping changes to the agreement that are not substantiative. Moreover, these changes do not affect the agreed upon pricing structure of this project.

 

The changes made to the original CAD user access agreement are provided in the edited version of your backup material and can be summarized as follows:

 

  • Page #1: The county added the City of New Port Richey and removed on behalf of the New Port Richey Police Department and New Port Richey Fire Department.
  • Page #2: The county added language to #3 “Interlocal” and removed the accessing entity has the right to cancel the access agreement by giving thirty (30) day written notice to CentralSquare. Under the agreement both parties can cancel the access agreement at any time. 
  • Page #2: The county rewrote #6; however, it has the same meaning as the original version of this agreement. The county added a reference to Florida State Statute 768.28 which addresses torts and sovereign immunity.
  • Page #2: The county removed #8 which addressed public records and replaced it with new language - "Accessing Entity and CentralSquare shall not assign their respective obligations under this Access Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties."  The entities under this agreement must follow State Law Chapter 119 when it comes to public records.

 

City Attorney Tim Driscoll reviewed the updated CAD user access agreement and approved the agreement as to form.



RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the updated CAD user access agreement with the BOCC and Central Square Technologies for integrated county police and fire dispatch services.
