The Bergen County Board of Commissioners approved several shared-service measures and related resolutions designed to expand regional coordination and reduce costs for local governments.

A commissioner highlighted Resolution 10-99-25, a shared-service agreement expanding county-run EMS coverage for special events and boards of education that lack volunteer personnel. The measure was described as a way to provide a ‘‘force multiplier’’ for towns and school districts short on volunteers at events.

The board also adopted a fee schedule for shared-service agreements enabling local units to use the county’s trunk radio system; commissioners said the schedule improves regional communication and coordination. Another shared-service agreement authorizes Bergen County to house juveniles from Cumberland County at the Bergen County Juvenile Detention Center, a move commissioners described as inter-county cooperation to manage costs.

Commissioners said every shared-service agreement saves taxpayers money by consolidating services and improving efficiency; the meeting did not provide line-item savings estimates.

Ending: Resolutions were approved at the meeting; county administration and the affected departments will finalize operational details and intergovernmental agreements outside the meeting record.
