The meeting was called to allow Deputy Mayor Mark Neal to provide an update on (PSAP) the Public Safety Answering Point project. Mark Neal provided two comprehensive handouts detailing the PSAP requirements covering both the background and projected consolidation. He reminded the Council that the PSAP project was being undertaken as a state mandate requiring consolidation to two dispatch sites by the end of the year. Failure to comply would cost the City approximately $ 2 million a year from the City's share of E911 distributions. He said in the near term the primary dispatch site would be the SBPD center. After a new facility is completed in 2015 the SBPD center would serve as the back -up facility. In response to Council questions about the ultimate fate of the SBPD dispatch personnel, Mark said all FT employees will be offered new positions. Currently that applies to sixty -four (64) 911 dispatchers and 5 administrative positions. Dr. Ferlic asked for a cost sharing breakdown for each governmental unit a part of the interlocal agreement. Mark said these projections were a part of the handout. Dr. Varner's question focused on projected operating costs of the new center. These projections are covered in the DLZ and Umbaugh handouts as well. Mark added that an interlocal agreement would be provided for Council approval. He urged the Council to review the two handouts for further familiarization and possible questions. Tim Scott adjourned the meeting at 4:05 P.M. 1(Page
