Review and approve Amendment (2 original signed copies).

Fort Bend County (“FBC”) and the City of Sugar Land (“CoSL”) currently have an interlocal agreement for CoSL to furnish fire protection, firefighting, and assistance in emergency medical services to the unincorporated surrounding areas in FBC.  FBC will compensate CoSL an annual payment of $218,500 for these services (October 1^st through September 30^th). 

However, on December 12, 2017 CoSL will annex both Greatwood and New Territory subdivisions.  Based on 2016 responses, the annexation will incorporate approximately 74% of responses to FBC into the CoSL.  It is also estimated that with the growth of the Riverstone area, there will be a 10% increase in responses that will occur year over year for the next 3 years.  The updated reimbursement amount beginning December 12, 2017 will be an annual payment of $65,000. The attached amendment to the interlocal agreement will reflect these changes:

• Current FY17 Payment - $218,500/year

• FY18 Payment - $102,000/year

  • Proration for October 1, 2017 – December 11, 2017 ($45,000)

  • Proration for December 12, 2017 – September 30, 2018 ($57,000)

Both FBC and CoSL will meet and discuss FY19 payment during the FY19 budget process.  FY19 & FY20 Estimated Payment - $65,000/year.
