As many of you may be aware, the City equipment that is used for =
dispatch and to provide our 911 services is in need of replacement. The =
City has held several meetings within the last year to discuss what =
direction we should take. The most recent meeting was on November 5th =
wherein the Council heard presentations from Sheriff Jeff Crouch for =
Latah County and Patty VonBargen from Whitcom regarding the potential to =
partner up with either entity.=20
By the way, this was the first workshop type council meeting that was =
televised to the public. Future administrative and public works/finance =
committee meetings as well as workshop meetings will be broadcast.
This item(E911) will be on our agenda next Monday. It is entirely =
possible that council may direct staff to negotiate further with either =
entity as the next step toward drawing up a contract and finalizing an =
agreement.
My question- would you like to see the City to have another public =
meeting, other than the 11/5 workshop, to better inform the community? =
Even if we decide to proceed in some fashion, there would be ample time =
for public discussion before anything was finalized. Let me know.
