INFORMATION REGARDING THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF VILLA HILLS FOR POLICE SERVICES

Villa Hills / Crescent Springs Police ILA Working group:
Jim Cahill, Villa Hills Councilman
Scott Ringo, Villa Hills Councilman
Craig Bowman, Villa Hills City Administrator
Mark Wurtenberger, Crescent Springs Councilman
Bill Schult, Crescent Springs Councilman
Mike Daly, Crescent Springs City Administrator

The workgroup developed an entirely new ILA that creates a formula to fund police services based on population, taxbase, and run volume. It covers the entire police department (not just patrol) to ensure all services are accounted for. It includes a budget process that gives the Mayor of Crescent Springs the ability to review, comment, suggest changes, and sign off on the police department budget every year before Villa Hills approves its budget. It has “true-up” provisions that covers both deficits and surpluses so neither city will pay for the other or make money off the other. It also adds a formal dispute resolution process so we are no longer faced with having to “giving notice” as the only option to deal with unresolved issues. It also conforms to the recently updated ILA language found in KRS. The workgroup has developed an entirely new ILA.
