651
Williams indicated that he felt Council would be interested in
looking at the potential of the City/County consolidation without
Whitefish and Columbia Falls.
Haarr moved the Council continue to investigate the possibility of
consolidating with Flathead County the 911 concept of a Board to
centralize dispatch. The motion was seconded.
There was discussion.
Rauthe noted the City of Kalispell and Flathead County have been
investigating emergency dispatch consolidation for the entire
county. The three cities 911 consolidation of updated equipment,
being an option, appeared to have some certain efficiencies in
doing that and the numbers that have been discussed at various
meetings since then have included all the cities, including the
rural emergency service providers. The Cities of Whitefish and
Columbia Falls have gone on record as being opposed to joining in
on that at this time, which now changes all of the numbers that
have been talked about. The reality is that it is not going to be
as much of a money saver as it could have been but it still could
be a very efficient way of going. The purpose of the vote is to
continue the research and see if it would be doing the best thing
for the citizens and taxpayers in both of the jurisdictions.
Atkinson and Haarr spoke in favor of the motion.
The motion carried with a vote.
