Time Constraints:

The interlocal agreement commences upon execution by the County and the City PSAP and includes an initial term through December 31, 2023.  The agreement may be extended upon mutual agreement for consecutive renewal terms of five years each.

 

 

ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:

If this ILA is not approved, the Redmond PSAP will not be considered eligible for excise tax revenue disbursements of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) eligible expenses.  Further, absent a signed contract, Redmond could lose the ability to operate as a PSAP, which would require King County to enter an agreement with another PSAP to provide 911 services in the City.
