COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, CONTRACT: The county manager, Mr. J. Wayne Deal,
spoke to the board regarding the recent contract approved by the board in regard to Centralina
Council of Government's study of the county's communication system. This study was limited to
telephones. Mr. Deal said he had spoken with the board about the possibility of combining emergency
communications in the county, that is ambulance service, fire service, and the sheriff's department.
In the past, he said, the sheriff's department has not been in favor of doing this. He has now been
told by the sheriff's department that they would like to take a look at this. Mr. Deal says he
thinks it offers some real advantages to the county, personnel -wise and from a practical point of
view. Mr. Deal recommended the board consider going into Phase II of the communications contract
with COG, which they say they can do for a maximum of $2,653, and they would be able to start on it
immediately, with the board's approval.
In response to a question from Chairman Hedrick regarding the 911 plans, Mr. Deal said this
would be part of the overall plan, and all calls would come into the same communications center.
Persons would call into one center and the calls would be dispatched to the appropriate agency.
Mr. Deal said we now had dispatchers on duty 24 hours around the clock at the communictaions
center and at the sheriff's department. To have a combined communications center would allow better
scheduling of staff, and there may be a possibility of reduction in staff.
No funds are budgeted for this contract.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to approve the contract with Centralina Council of Governments for
Phase II (radio portion) of the communications contract in the amount of $2,653, authorizing the
chairman to sign on behalf of the county. These funds are to come from Contingency.
