ITEM TITLE: Fire Dispatch Contracts
SUBMITTED BY: Wayne Wantland, Communications Manager
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Same, 575-6048
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The Yakima Communications Center provides fire dispatching
services for numerous agencies. For years the charges to these other agencies have been Tess
than our average cost per dispatch. Previously this had been justified because we were not
providing the same services as we were to the Yakima Fire Department. Now with the changes in
technology and the enhancements that these agencies have demanded that level of service has
become more equal. We began addressing this cost differential with the current 2001 contract and
will continue with this 2002 contract. In the current 2001 contract we had our contractual CPI
adjustment plus a 5% "catch-up".
For the year 2002 we have negotiated a contract that provides a CPI adjustment of 3.2% and again
an additional 5% for the "catch-up"
Given the recent tax initiative that potentially has a significant impact on these users, they should be
applauded for recognizing the services we provide and the cost of providing those services, in
agreeing to this contract.

LOV v 2001
OFFICE OF C?TY MANAGER
Enclosed are the ten contracts for those agencies that we do fire dispatching. I
do not know whether you were advised, but I succeeded in getting an agreement
for CPI (3.2%) plus 5% for the year 2002. This actually provides for slightly more
revenue than we put in the budget. The only down side is I still could not
convince them into a multi-year contract.
If you will please sign the contracts but do not date them, I would greatly
appreciate it. I will then distribute them to the agencies for their signatures and
date.
