SUBJECT: Police Dispatching Contract With the City of Pittsburg
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)A BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
The Board authorize the Sheriff or his designee to execute a police dispatching contract between the
City of Pittsburg and the County of Contra Costa,effective
July 1, 1990.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no detrimental impact on the County in executing this contract. All services provided under the
terms of the Contract will be paid for by the City of Pittsburg. There is a positive financial impact to the
County sharing the staff and equipment under this Contract in that Pittsburg will be funding
approximately 60% of the shared costs. The County would have had to.shoulder 100% of these same
costs in order to provide dispatching services to the Sheriff's East County Units.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City of Pittsburg wishes to contract with.the County for police dispatching through the Sheriff's
Department. The Sheriff's Department can provide the required services without adverse impact and,
through the Contract, may be able to positively impact general officer safety in the Pittsburg/West
Pittsburg area.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pittsburg has received dispatching services as part of the Delta Regional Communications
Center. With the closure of that facility, Pittsburg is left with no internal dispatching capabilities.
Establishing their own center would require too much time and could only be accomplished at an
exorbitant cost.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve a contract will result in the Sheriff's Department being unable to provide requested
services to the City of Pittsburg,jeopardizing their ability to provide their police department , e ec I
dispatching services and denying Pittsburg the opportunity to link its communications sys em with those
of their major contiguous jurisdiction.
