Explanation
§ On October 1, 1993, the City of Charlotte Police Department and the Mecklenburg County Police Department were consolidated via an interlocal agreement between the City and County.
§ The City and County entered into an updated consolidation agreement effective July 1, 1996, which included a funding mechanism for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) services in the extra-territorial jurisdictions (ETJ) in Mecklenburg County. This funding mechanism included creating the Law Enforcement Service District (LESD) tax paid for by property owners in the ETJs covered by the agreement.
§ The County terminated the 1996 agreement effective June 30, 2018.
§ On February 26, 2018, City Council approved the ratification of the 2018 Agreement for Continued Consolidation of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (Agreement), which provides policing services to the Charlotte ETJ, Town of Mint Hill ETJ, Town of Davidson ETJ, and the McGuire Nuclear Power Plant.
§ Following the February 26 approval, the County requested the Town of Pineville ETJ be added to the Agreement to receive comprehensive policing services from CMPD.
§ The addition of the Town of Pineville ETJ will increase LESD revenues from the County by an estimated $560,000, for an approximate annual total of $14.6 million. This Agreement includes adjustments for natural growth, an initial five-year term, and a 24 month required notice for termination.
