Title
Resolution to execute a renewal of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for Public Health Services between the City of Austin and the City of Pflugerville.
Summary
The proposed request is to authorize a renewal of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for Public Health Services between the City of Austin through Austin Public Health (APH) and the City of Pflugerville. The Interlocal Cooperation Agreement approved on July 25, 2023 was a five year term agreement which allows for four successive 12-month renewals; this is the third 12-month renewal of that agreement. The Interlocal Cooperation Agreement approved in 2023 included adoption of the City of Austin fee schedule and contains no financial requirement or annual renewal fees by the City. If the proposed renewal is approved, Austin Public Health will continue to provide the administration of permits and all health inspections for food inspections, public pools, spas, childcare facilities, and certified farmers markets throughout FY2027.
The initial agreement was approved in 2019 and included three successive 12-month renewal terms. The initial agreement included financial responsibility by the City of Pflugerville to establish the program which was fulfilled by 2022 and there is currently no cost to the City for this service.
This item is supported by the Safety pillar of the Strategic Plan.
