This amendment allows the Authority to convey property\equipment to a Public Safety Answering Point ("PSAP") when the property\equipment is kept on the premises and operated by the PSAP. Since all PSAPs are presently required to purchase insurance for all Authority equipment on their premises, this amendment allows PSAPs to simply include Authority property\equipment in their individual inventories. Thus, the Authority satisfies state statue inventory requirements (Colorado Local Government Uniform Accounting Law, Section 29-1-506 C.R.S.) and eliminates expensive inventory costs. Please note this proposed amendment provides that if a PSAP terminates its membership in the Authority or defaults under the terms of the Agreement, the property shall be returned to the Authority. Conversely, if the IGA is terminated by agreement of a majority of the parties, the property and equipment shall remain in the ownership of the PSAP. One technical note: "the IGA may be amended by a written agreement executed and approved by not less than 75 percent of the Participating Entities who convey a position on the proposed amendment within sixty (60) days after all of the Participating Entities have been given written notification of the proposed amendment. At least 50 percent of the Participating Entities must convey a position on this proposed amendment." In simpler terms, we need your Council to either execute the proposed amendment or indicate in writing it does not approve the amendment. Please send your Council's response to me at POB 3-D. Arvada, Colorado 80001- 0060 by August 30, 1996. Call me with questions at 424-3012.
