UPDATE ON EMERGENCY FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES - Oral Report Chief Dennis Michael stated a task force has been created representing the five west end cities to be reviewing alternatives to separate the police and fire dispatch center so that the fire dispatch center would become a stand alone center. He stated as of today he has received a report from the task force and that the west end chiefs will be meeting tomorrow to discuss this. He stated the alternatives in the report include 1) leaving the existing location in Ontario as is, 2) move it to another facility in a City-owned building within the City of Ontario, and 3) acquire our own building for fire dispatching. He stated there are also a couple of political considerations which will come back before the Board once there is consensus between the five fire agencies on policy items. He stated one of the policy items will be the organization structure and that we currently contract with the City of Ontario for fire dispatch services. He stated this can be continued or the other alternative would be to move it into the joint power authority that the five agencies belong to entitled the "Fire and Emergency Response Authority." He stated that currently the police department for Ontario oversees the dispatching operations for fire and that they believe in the best interest of all the agencies, the fire chiefs would like to see this separation occur. He added they have a target date of July 1, 1998. ACTION: Report received and filed. Fire Protection District Minutes October 1, 1997 Page 4 G.
