City to pursue intergovernmental radio agreement with Marine Corps Logistics Base
Summary
The Albany Fire Department requested approval to add 143 portable radios from Marine Corps Logistics Base to the city’s P25 system at an annual cost of $14,713.27; commissioners asked for clearer contract language on termination and funding availability before finalizing the agreement.
The Albany Fire Department presented an intergovernmental agreement July 1 to add 143 portable radios from Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) to the city’s P25 radio system at an annual cost of $14,713.27.
A department chief said the radios would integrate MCLB operations with the city’s emergency communications and that the department has worked on the project for about two years. Commissioners asked about termination clauses and whether payments are "subject to availability of funds." The chief said staff would work with the city attorney to clarify contract language and to identify any fiscal impacts for the city.
Mayor Bo Dura and several commissioners expressed support for interagency cooperation with MCLB—described as one of the city’s largest employers—while seeking an explicit statement in the agenda item about contingent payments and staff time. The commission did not take final action to execute the agreement at the work session; staff said they would coordinate with the attorney’s office to adjust contract language and return the item with updated cons and recommendations.
