Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
This agreement designates the City of New Braunfels as the Host Agency to maintain a list of Local Government/Educational entities who have signed on to this interlocal agreement. The agreement formalizes a process, much like Police and Fire have in place with neighboring entities, for the IT Department of participating members to request assistance, in the case of emergencies, from other participating members. Members are not required to respond, but may respond in multiple ways to offer assistance, including staffing, hardware loans, software, co-location and other appropriate needs. Any costs incurred by a responding agency are to be paid for by the requesting agency.
