BACKGROUND
Lake Oswego Communications Center (LOCOM) has provided 911 call answering and
dispatching for the City of Milwaukie since 2003. This relationship has been mutually beneficial
to both communities by providing the City of Milwaukie with the service they desire and
allowing the City of Lake Oswego to benefit from a larger, more efficiently utilized staff and
seamless interoperability. In addition, it solidifies Lake Oswego's position as one of two Public
Safety Answering Points in Clackamas County by providing service to three of the largest

municipalities in Clackamas County. This agreement fits with LOCOM's mission to provide the
highest level of customer service, provide mission critical public safety information to first
responders, and to be fiscally responsible for the City of Lake Oswego.
DISCUSSION
The current intergovernmental agreement (IGA) covered the contract period from 2022-2026.
The new agreement continues the existing relationship and updates some minor contract
language and changes the cost formula in year one and two of the contract to assist with
improvements in technology and replacement of dispatch equipment. This IGA spans four
years from 2026 to 2030.
FISCAL IMPACT
The agreement represents revenue of$820,000.00 in year one graduating to $940,000.00 in
year four. This represents an increase of six (6) percent in year one and two for personnel and
dispatch equipment. In years three and four the increase is four percent for a total of twenty
(20) percent spread across the length of the contract. This covers approximately twenty-four
(24) percent of LOCOM's anticipated personnel, material and services costs.
