SYSTEM FINANCING, APPROVAL OF PHASE II PART 2,800 MHZ RADIO EQUIPMENT AND APPROPRIATION au CITY ATTY. -3 OF FUNDS RECOMMENDED ACTION: City of Carlsbad City Council: Adopt Resolution No. 99 -13 approving Amendment No. 2 to the Communications System Agreement between the City of Carlsbad and Motorola, Inc. for the purchase of Phase II, Part 2 radio equipment, and approving a plan for the financing of past and current Regional Communications System equipment purchases and appropriating funds therefor. Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Directors: Adopt Resolution No. /D3Y , appropriating funds for the Districts proportional share of costs associated with Regional Communications System financing. ITEM EXPLANATION: Background The City of Carlsbad is a participating agency in the San Diego County Regional Communications System. The system was designed to replace existing conventional radio frequencies with a trunked 800 Mhz system. The purpose of the system is to develop regional communications capabilities to cope with potential disaster and major events, to improve inter-agency and intra-agency communications and to provide the needed technology for all participants to meet their communications needs in the future. On March 21, 1995, the City of Carlsbad adopted Resolution No. 95-69 approving the City of Carlsbad budget for CSA 135 and requesting the levy of benefit charges for CSA 135 - Zone A for the inclusion of the City of Carlsbad in the Regional Communications System. On May 14, 1996, the City of Carlsbad adopted Resolution No. 96-170 approving the 1996/97 fiscal budget for CSA 135 - Zone A. The CSA 135 - Zone A was established to fund all local costs associated with the Regional Communications System. On November 12, 1996, The City adopted Resolution No. 96-383 approving the Communications System Agreement with Motorola, Inc. which authorized the purchase of dispatch center and microwave system equipment. On November 18, 1997, the City adopted Resolution No. 97-694 approving Communications System Agreement Amendment No. 1 which authorized the purchase of police, fire and water department radios. Also on November 18, 1997, the District adopted Resolution No. 1002 authorizing its inclusion in the Regional Communication System. The passage of Proposition 218, “Voter Approval for Local Government Taxes, Limitations on Fees, Assessments and Charges” effectively ended our ability to use the CSA as a funding mechanism. However, money collected prior to the passage of the new law was collected legally and has continued to be spent on RCS-related costs. Those funds will be exhausted in the first quarter of 1999 and a replacement source of funding must be identified. The additional funding is described in the System Financing section of this agenda bill. Carlsbad’s 800MHz radio system has been phased as described in the following: l Backbone Carlsbad’s Share of Backbone 1996 . Phase I Dispatch & Microwave Link 1996197 l Phase II, Part 1 Police, Fire & Water Dept. Radios 1997198 l Phase II, Part2 Public Service Radios 1998199 l Phase III Data Communications System 2000/01 Phase II, Part 2 Radio Equipment The Carlsbad portion of the regional communications system consists of local equipment which is connected to the regional backbone. The installation of local equipment is being accomplished in three phases. Phase I and Phase II, Part 1 have been completed. Part 2 of Phase II is the installation of base station, mobile and portable radios for the remainder of the city departments. Approval of this final portion of the radio system will enable all City radio users to communicate with one another regardless of which subdivision of the City the radio user belongs. / Page 2 Qf AB# IS, 0 00 Phase III Phase III, the data communications portion of the system, was originally planned to be operational in Carlsbad in 1999. An in-depth review of system features and requirements has revealed that the existing Police/Fire Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System will have to be replaced before the data system can be made operational. A consultant has been retained to complete an assessment of our existing system, assess current technology and make a recommendation about how the city should proceed. Staff plans to incorporate the CAD & Data Systems into the FY 99100 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget process. SYSTEM FINANCING Financing of the various phases of the system has been through the use of lease-purchase agreements. Based upon the terms of each of the agreements, staff recommends the following course of action for financing: Backbone Carlsbad’s total cost for its share of the backbone system was $1,586,650. Payment is being made under a lease agreement with Motorola at a 5.65% interest rate for 15 years. The remaining balance is $1,442,685. Since we are earning approximately 5.76% on City funds and the lease rate is 5.65%, the lease is essentially at break-even (we are earning about the same as we are paying). Therefore, staff recommends that the remaining balance on the lease be paid as of January 1999 using the General fund balance. This method of payment allows the City to match its “one-time” money with a “one-time” expense as well as decreasing the administrative burden associated with the lease agreement. I Phase Total costs for Phase I were $764,086. Payment is being made under a lease agreement with Motorola at 6.9% for 15 years. This lease contains a prepayment penalty equal to $34,869. Thus, at this time, staff recommends continuing to pay this lease according to the agreement. Phase II, Part I Total costs were $1,091,628. This phase was also financed with a lease agreement with Motorola at 5.79% over 15 years; however, it does not contain a prepayment clause. Thus, staff recommends that it also be paid off as of the next lease payment date with funds from the General fund balance. The outstanding balance is $996,541. Phase II. Part 2 The phase II, Part 2 cost is approximately $458,000. Staff recommends using CSA 135, Zone A funds to fund the cost of the equipment. The current CSA fund balance is $686,787. Phase III (includina CAD replacement) This will be submitted for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Program budget as a multi-year project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The City Council approved Carlsbad’s participation in the Regional Communication System on March 21, 1995. The County Board of Supervisors approved the Negative Declaration for the Regional Communications System on March 5, 1996. Participants in the System contemplated a series of subsequent actions to render the System fully functional. This item is one of those subsequent actions. The Planning Director has determined this subsequent action is in compliance with prior environmental documentation. a Page 3 of AB# l5,oOQ FISCAL IMPACT: The total required to pay off the lease agreements for the backbone system ($1,443,000) and Phase II, Part 1 ($997,000) is approximately $2,440,000. Following is a summary of payments that will need to be made this year: Backbone payoff amount $1,443,000 Phase II, Part 1 payoff amount 997,000 Lease payment on Phase I 79,000 Phase II, Part 2 costs 458,000 Carlsbad’s share of backbone maintenance 87.000 Total 3,064,OOO CSA funds available Additional amount required (686.000) $2,378,000 The 800 MHz radios operated by water and sewer operations within the Public Works Department account for approximately 35% of the City’s radios. Staff recommends that 17.5% of costs, or $416,000, be appropriated from each the Water and Sewer enterprise funds and that the remaining $1546,000 be appropriated from the General fund balance. In succeeding years, our annual costs will total approximately $234,000. This figure includes debt service for Phase I and system maintenance costs. These amounts will be included in the annual operating budget in future years. EXHIBITS: I. Resolution No. 99 -13 , approving Amendment No. 2 and appropriating funds. 2.
