Re: Amendments to original inter -local agreement and sustainment funding inter -local <br />agreement to add new partners to the Austin Regional Intelligence Center <br />Dear Chief Stapp: <br />Please find enclosed two original copies each of amendments to the Original Inter -local Agreement <br />and Sustainment Funding Inter -local Agreement to add new partners to the Austin Regional <br />Intelligence Center (ARIL). <br />On February 9, 2017, Austin City Council unanimously approved these amendments to the two <br />inter -local agreements that govern the operations and funding of ARIC. Assistant City Manager <br />Rey Arellano then signed two copies of each amendment for each current partner and the three <br />agencies that are being brought in as partners via the amendments. <br />Please take all steps necessary to execute these amendments. Because the Inter -local Cooperation <br />Act requires that the governing body of each agency that is a party to an inter -local agreement <br />approve the agreement, it is possible that the San Marcos City Council must approve the <br />amendments prior to signing by the appropriate official. <br />Once signed, please mail all four originals to the Travis County Attorney's Office, care of Assistant <br />County Attorney Barbara Wilson. An envelope addressed to Ms. Wilson is also enclosed for your <br />convenience. Once Ms. Wilson has received signed amendments from all current and soon-to-be <br />partners, the Travis County Commissioners Court will consider and approve the amendments, <br />thereby finalizing the addition of the police departments of the City of Sunset Valley, the City of <br />Manor, and the City of Bastrop as ARIC partners. After the Travis County Judge has also signed <br />all of the amendments, Ms. Wilson's office will mail one original of each amendment back to you. <br />Finally, as you review the amendments, you will see language that is also being added to the two <br />inter -locals that will permit the City of Austin to enter into separate agreements with non- <br />governmental agencies in order to include them as an ARIC partner. Only a private entity that <br />employs licensed peace officers is eligible to be a partner. At this time, the St. Edwards University <br />Police Department has expressed an interest in becoming a partner. <br />If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (512)974-4402. <br />Regards, <br />k,�t��"0335r <br />Lt. Matthew Greer <br />Director, Austin Regional Intelligence Center <br />Lieutenant, Austin Police Department <br />
