2. Consolidated 9-1-1 CenterMayor Kennedy,
I appreciate your willingness to discuss the ongoing efforts to fully consolidate the 911
Emergency Communications Center. As you know, Flathead County and the 911
Administrative Board created under the present Interlocal Agreement have developed an
aggressive plan for full consolidation of our dispatch centers and emergency
communications.
From our conversation, I understand the City of Kalispell is hesitant to commit to the full
consolidation because of the possibility that under the present Interlocal Agreement the
cost for Kalispell to maintain needed personnel at Kalispell City Hall as well as fund the
proportionate share of the fully consolidated dispatch center may result in an overall
increase in expenditures. However, in my preliminary discussions with Under Sheriff
Pete Wingert and 911 Consolidation Project Director, Mark Peck, it appears that the
consolidation could be done so that nearly all functions, including clerical, necessary to
Kalispell public safety operations would be handled out of the new dispatch center.
Obviously, law enforcement officials from the county and the cities need to meet and
consider how most efficiently to handle the necessary administrative tasks so that neither
public safety nor officer safety is compromised in anyway. Mark. Peck has agreed to
facilitate such a meeting and it is imperative that this be done in a timely manner so that
if building design considerations are needed they can be incorporated.
Flathead County has previously indicated in a letter to the City of whitefish and signed
by all three commissioners and enclosed here, a willingness to open discussions on the
Interlocal Agreement regarding the funding formula and any other relevant matters. We
have proposed a maximum two year time frame for those considerations with the
understanding that FY 2010 would implement the funding formula described in the
present Interlocal Agreement if mutually agreeable changes could not be reached before
then.
Again, thank you for the willingness to meet and discuss this important public safety
improvement for our community. As always, I ant available to discuss this with you or
your council at any time. It is vital that we move forward together to accomplish this
valuable community public safety project.
