CONSOLIDATED DISPATCH
(C-175-825-100)
E-911 Coordinator Shelton Enochs, from Shasta County, reviewed the
history and status of a proposed Consolidated Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP), explained the reasons for and possible costs of
consolidation, and discussed the proposed joint powers agreement,
structure of the governing board, and identified sites. Mr. Enochs
advised that circumstances arising in another agency moved the
deadline for response to the State ahead three weeks, allowing time to
develop the proposal to the satisfaction of the three agencies.
Discussion revealed that although cost savings have not been
identified with presently available information, the chief advantage
of a single system replacing the four systems the County and Cities
use now, would be enhanced service, particularly during an emergency.
Members of the Anderson City Council indicated their willingness to
consolidate. Redding council members express a need for more cost
information and will direct staff to develop a more complete cost
formula.
By motions made, seconded, and carried by the Anderson and Redding
City Councils and the Shasta County Board of Supervisors, agreement is
reached to form an advisory committee consisting of the Sheriff,
Police Chiefs from the two cities, and the Redding Fire Chief and the
County Fire Warden which will report to a five-member governing board.
By motions made, seconded, and carried by the Anderson and Redding
City Councils and the Shasta County Board of Supervisors, agreement is
reached that the governing board would be made up of two
representatives each from the County and the City of Redding, and one
from the City of Anderson.
Consensus is also reached to form a committee with representatives
from each agency to analyze cost benefits of the consolidation,
address policy, and solicit proposals for a single PSAP site.
