Summary
Council approved revisions to the E‑911 services contract requiring participating jurisdictions to remit 95% of 911 surcharge receipts to the city, a $3,000 annual capital service fee, and an annually increasing services fee.
The City of Mitchell approved an updated interlocal agreement for regional E‑911 services that changes how participating jurisdictions remit surcharge revenue and pay for capital and services fees.
Chief Knoepley explained the revised agreement will require participating cities or counties to remit 95% of the 911 surcharge receipts to the City of Mitchell, pay an annual capital service fee of $3,000, and pay a services fee that increases by 5% per year from the 2025 contract amount. Staff said the refresh was intended to simplify administration for the multi‑county service arrangement.
A councilmember thanked staff for their work with contracting counties. The council moved and approved the updated agreement on a voice vote.
The agreement will take effect according to its terms and participating jurisdictions will be responsible for remitting the specified surcharge percentage and fees under the new language.
