(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners continued to discuss the possible relocation of the 911 Public Service Answering Point to the Richardson County Jail / Law Enforcement Center under construction on the west edge of Falls City when they met this week.
Falls City Mayor Jerry Oliver, Administrator Gary Jorn and Police Chief Duane Armbruster were in attendance for this portion of the meeting. In January, Sheriff Pounds submitted a proposal to relocate the PSAP to the new facility.
It was decided that City representatives, the Sheriff, and a County Commissioner and Emergency Manager Brian Dixon will meet later this month. During the meeting, they will review facts and figures for a better view of the idea of moving the PSAP dispatching to the Jail / Law Enforcement Center, and come up with a solution that is in the best interest of Richardson County taxpayers.
The Sheriff again stated the importance of getting a radio antenna / tower in place so radio communications can be received at the Jail / Law Enforcement Center once it is occupied.
Sheriff Pounds also provided Commissioners with an update on the possible remodeling of the kitchen area at the new facility. According to zoning and building codes of the City of Falls City, a grease trap / storage tank must be located outside the building and have a capacity of at least 500 gallons.
Commissioners said they would continue to review the matter.
