Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
By the passage of Ordinance 31-20, the City Council authorized the mayor to execute an agreement to create the Lucas County 9-1-1 Regional Council of Governments (“COG”), which would consolidate multiple public safety answering points (“PSAPs”) into a single operation and provide enhanced mutual aid and coordination among public agencies as well as create operational efficiencies resulting in cost savings for the participating jurisdictions. As part of that consolidation, the City wishes to provide health care and life insurance to the COG employees, with the COG reimbursing the City for those costs.

That the mayor is authorized to extend participation and coverage of the City’s health care plan and life insurance to the employees of the Lucas County 9-1-1 Regional Council of Governments, and further authorized to enter into necessary agreements to effectuate the participation and coverage.
