To approve an Interlocal Agreement by and between the City of Plano, Texas and Collin County Community College District in the amount of $20,000 for the period of one (1) year with up to three (3) automatic twelve (12) month renewals to provide higher education services as part of the City’s Professional Development Program for the Human Resources Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved

This is a recommendation to award Collin County Community College District an interlocal agreement (ILA) for professional services for training and development of city employees. The City of Plano has partnered with Collin County Community College District through an ILA for employee training and development programs since 2008. The scope of services provided by Collin County Community College District includes professional development training for employees in the areas of leadership, communication, management, and desktop publishing.

As Human Resources continues to offer relevant programs for employees, this continued partnership will provide the ability to offer programs developed in conjunction with Collin County Community College District .

Failure to approve this recommendation would directly impact our 'Develop' Tenant of the City's Talent Management Program in that we would lose a valuable professional development resource for our employee population with facilitators who are familiar with the culture of our organization. Collin County Community College District is well-respected as a credible source for training and development.

Approval of this item will provide for City of Plano employee training. The term for this contract is one (1) year with three (3) automatic renewals. Expenditures will be made within the approved budget appropriations for each year of the contract. The estimated total amount to be spent, if all optional renewals are used, is $80,000 (or $20,000 per year for FY 2024-25 through FY 2027-28). 

Approval of this Interlocal Agreement will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
