Background:

The Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) receives wireless 9-1-1 fees for jurisdictions inside Tulsa, Osage and Creek Counties.  Upon review of the remittance of these fees, questions arose as to whether or not the wireless companies were providing the correct amount in fees.  INCOG developed and implemented a program designed to assure that maximum fees are being remitted to each jurisdiction.  The amount of wireless fees collected and remitted to Broken Arrow for FY 2015 is $361,555.52.  The proposed contract amount for FY 2014-15 represents 1% of that amount.  The attached Memorandum of Understanding sets out the terms of the FY 2015-16 agreement between INCOG and the City of Broken Arrow.  Staff recommends that the Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding and authorize its execution. 


Cost:                                                                $3,983.00
