(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners John Caverzagie presented a letter to the County Board Tuesday from Falls City, City Administrator Gary Jorn concerning proposals about county wide dispatching.
The letter dated April 22, says the Council will agree to form a committee consisting of a City Council member, the Chief of Police, the Richardson County Sheriff and a County Commissioner for discussions of the Public Service Answering Point for Richardson County. The letter goes on to say the Council respectfully declines further negotiations regarding county wide dispatching.
Currently the Falls City Police Department serves as the Public Service Answering Point for 911 calls and then relays information to the Sheriff's Office for calls outside the City of Falls City.
Commissioners had proposed going to a single dispatch center instead of having one at the Police Department and one at the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center. Both dispatch centers are facing expensive upgrades in their respective dispatch centers. The County has estimated their cost to be in the $1.5-million range.
