CHAMBER ROOM
CALL TO ORDER & ROLL CALL.
Meeting was called to order at 5:03 p.m. Those present were: Chairman Chief Ruth, ESDA Coordinator Norman, Communications Director Srejma, Member Schwartz, Deputy Chief Scott Novak.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
The minutes of June 26, 2012 were signed and dated by Chairman Chief Ruth.
REQUEST AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENDITURES.
Chief Ruth requested approval for expenditures since last E-911 Board meeting of June 26, 2012.
1. Motion to accept expenditures from June 27, 2012 to August 21, 2012. Motion by Member Schwartz. Seconded by Communications Director Srejma.
Deputy Chief Novak explained that the in-car video system, which had an expenditure of $42,760, has been completed with the exception of a small glitch due to a Windows update.
OUTSOURCING DISPATCH.
Chief Ruth updated the Board on the topic of outsourcing the police department’s dispatch services. He said that the Police Committee had tasked the Chief and City Administrator Paul to research the feasibility of a central dispatch. This was prompted in part by the aging and unreliable radio system. The Chief’s research concluded that Southwest Central Dispatch appeared to be the best option. They offer the most compatible fit and a significant cost savings versus staying in house. If the City makes the decision to outsource dispatch, all 911 lines would need to be transferred through the ICC. So, the timeline would be dependent on that process. At this point, the Chief is looking to City Council for further direction.
NEXT MEETING.
Chief Ruth proposed the next meeting be set for Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 5:00 PM. The Board concurred.
ADJOURN MEETING.
There being no further business to discuss, ESDA Coordinator Norman moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Member Schwartz. The meeting adjourned at 5:45 PM.
