Council Votes to Amend NTECC Agreement

In January 2015, Addison, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Coppell and North Texas Emergency Communications Center (NTECC) entered into a Consolidated Public Safety Communications Services agreement to provide Public Safety Dispatch services to all four cities. At the January 22 meeting, Council approved an amendment to reflect the original intent of the governing agreement regarding the shared funding of NTECC's Annual Expense Budget.

Currently Addison pays 19% of the expense budget. With the adoption of the agreement amendment by all four cities, that percentage will be determined by Addison's call volume during the three most recent calendar years in relation to the total call volume for all of the cities for the same three calendar years. This new calculation will be effective beginning with Fiscal Year 2021.
