AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to the Dakota County Drug AGENDA SECTION:
Task Force Joint Powers Agreement
PREPARED BY: Gary Kalstabakken, Chief of Police AGENDA NO. 6 hi
ATTACHMENTS: JPA Amendment APPROVED BY:
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize the execution of an amendme to the
Joint Powers Agreement for the Dakota County Drug Task Force.
Background
The City of Rosemount entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the other major cities within Dakota
County and the Dakota County Sheriff's Office for the purpose of continuing a combined drug task force.
Summary
The JPA entered into effective January 1, 2005 specified the number of officers, calculated in full time
equivalent (FTE), within the JPA. Since the execution of the JPA several parties of the agreement have
amended the number of officer FTEs assigned to the task force. An amendment to the JPA is proposed
to incorporate the changes that have already occurred and to allow future changes to the FTEs agencies
contribute to the task force.
The amendment in Section 8.1 has been changed to language which allows "Up to" a specific FIE for
each party to the agreement. This change allows each agency to adjust the level of commitment without
needed to amend the entire JPA. Amending the JPA in this manner allows agencies to make changes to
their FTE commitment based upon staffing availability, community needs and other factors. Other
sections of the JPA impacted by the change in the r 1'E section will also be amended to be in alliance with
changes in section 8.1.
The amendment lists Rosemount as contributing "Up to One (1) FTE." In the 2005 JPA Rosemount is
listed at .20 FTE. Staff recommends approval of this amendment to allow for flexibility in assigning staff
to the Drug Task Force and complying with the JPA.
