(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with representatives of the City of Falls City Tuesday to discuss a proposed Interlocal Agreement from the city regarding the 911 Emergency Dispatch Services.
Currently Falls City Police Department is the dispatch point but the County has proposed a combined dispatch center.
The City proposal includes all full time City dispatchers becoming full time employees as dispatchers of the County if the employee agrees to employment with the County; both entities would be capable of operating on the City's radio frequencies; the City would have unlimited 24-hour access to the records system and a Board would be established for oversite of functions, personnel, wages and benefits. The Sheriff, Chairman of the County Commission; Chief of Police and the City Council President would be included on the Board.
In addition, the County would arrange for the financing and purchase of necessary equipment to operate the dispatch center.
The City also proposes in lieu of payments for the monies spent undertaking the operation and maintaining the various levels of 911 over approximately 30 years, the City would be granted 10 years of dispatching service without compensation.
No action was taken following the discussion.
