HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 09 - Detention ServicesMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2025
SUBJECT: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR DETENTION SERVICES FOR THE
CITY OF ROANOKE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of an interlocal agreement for the City of
Grapevine Police Department to provide detention services for the City of
Roanoke Police Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funding will not be impacted as this will generate additional revenue to
the City.
BACKGROUND: Over the course of this year, Police Department staff have been working
with the City of Roanoke Police Department relative to the Grapevine
Police Department providing detention services for the Roanoke Police
Department. Historically, the Roanoke Police Department has partnered
with another law enforcement agency for their detention services. Earlier
this year, the Roanoke Police Department began talking with the
Grapevine Police Department about assuming detention services.
The City of Roanoke is interested in the Grapevine Detention Center
because of the Detention Center's current capacity, the Detention Center's
availability to accept additional bookings, and the Detention Center's
configuration. Based upon previous year's bookings and average, it is
anticipated that approximately 333 bookings from the Roanoke Police
Department will be needed annually.
The City of Roanoke will pay $94,771.00 annually for the bookings and
$50,000.00 for transports. The total cost for the City of Roanoke is
$144,771.00.
This interlocal agreement becomes effective in April of 2026. The initial
term of the agreement is for two years and there are two additional one-
year renewals.
Staff recommends approval.

Article V
Service Fee; Reimbursement
5.1 Detention Services Fee. Roanoke agrees to pay Grapevine an annual service fee
as consideration for the provision of the Detention Services described in this Agreement (the
"Service Fee"), which shall be pre -paid in full on or before October 1 st of each year during the
Term. The amount of the Service Fee shall be determined as follows:
(a) The Service Fee for the Current Term shall be $94,771, which is based upon a
three (3) year rolling annual average of 333 persons arrested and booked into a
detention facility, or an average fee of $284.60 per person ($94,771/ 333 =
$284.60) (the "Per Person Fee").
(b) For each annual Renewal Term, the Service Fee may be adjusted (increased or
decreased) based upon the change in the annual average number of persons
booked in by Roanoke Police for the thirty-six (36) month period ending on
September 30'h of the previous term ("Average Bookings"). Specifically, the
adjusted Service Fee will be calculated by multiplying the then current Average
Bookings (rounded to the nearest whole number) by the Per Person Fee set forth
in subsection (a), above.
By way of example, if the Average Arrestees increases to 400, then the Service
Fee for the upcoming Renewal Term would be $113,840 (400 x $284.60 =
$113,840). Conversely, if the Average Arrestees decreases to 300, then the
Service Fee for the next Renewal Term would be $85,380 (284.60 x
300=$85,380).
(c) Periodically, Grapevine reserves the right to adjust the Per Person Fee used to
calculate the Service Fee. Notification regarding any change in the Per Person
Fee will be compliant with Section 5.3 of this agreement.
5.2 Transportation Services Fee. Roanoke agrees to pay Grapevine an annual fee as
consideration for the provision of the Transportation Services described in this Agreement (the
"Service Fee"), which shall be added to the overall Detention Services Fee and prepaid in full on
PAGE 5 INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR DETENTION SERVICES
CITY OF GRAPEVINE AND CITY OF ROANOKE
or before October 1" of each year during the Term. The amount of the Transportation Fee shall
be determined as follows:
(a) The Transportation Fee shall be $50,000, which is an evenly split amount based
upon the average costs of personnel, administrative costs, and equipment required for
transportation. Personnel costs for three transport officers to include, wages, benefits, uniforms
and equipment equals approximately $84,000 per year. Administrative costs is $16,000 which
covers scheduling, vehicle related costs, and other administrative duties related to transport. The
Transportation Fee will be added to the Detention Services Fee for a total amount of $144,771
($94,771.00 + $50,000 = $144,771.00).
5.3 Adiustment Notice. Grapevine shall, on or before March 5th of each year,
provide Roanoke with a written report containing the number of Roanoke Inmates processed into
the Facility during the current term through September 30th, along with notice of the adjusted
Service Fee for the following Renewal Term (calculated in conformance with Section 5.1(b),
above).
5.4 Subpoenas; Costs. In the event a Grapevine employee receives a subpoena for
testimony (including deposition) in connection with a case filed by Roanoke involving a
Roanoke Inmate, Grapevine will promptly notify Roanoke and provide a copy of the same.
Roanoke shall have the right, but not the obligation, to object to such a subpoena by filing a
motion with the court at its sole cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roanoke shall reimburse
Grapevine for the cost of any employees required to appear in any criminal court in cases filed
by the Roanoke Police Department in connection with a Roanoke Inmate booked into and/or held
at the Facility. The reimbursement amount shall be equal to the actual cost that would be
incurred by Grapevine if the employee was testifying or being required to attend court for a
Grapevine criminal case.
5.5 Service Fee Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, if
Grapevine is unable to accept and house any Roanoke Inmates as provided by this Agreement for
any reason (including an event of Force Majeure), Grapevine will, at the election of Grapevine,
either (i) provide equivalent access and services to Roanoke through an alternate facility, or (ii)
provide Roanoke a credit against the amount of the next Service Fee due and payable in an
amount equal to 1/365'h of the amount of the then current annual Service Fee multiplied by the
total number of days Grapevine was unable to accept and house Roanoke Inmates (a "Fee
Credit"). If this Agreement has expired or terminated such that no future Service Fee against
which a Fee Credit may be applied will be paid, Grapevine agrees to pay the amount of such Fee
Credit to Roanoke not later than thirty (30) days after the date of expiration or termination of this
Agreement, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
