2. Resolution to Approve a Feasibility Study to Consolidate the St. Croix County and Pierce
County 911 Centers
Thompson addressed the detail of the resolution. This resolution will authorize
expenditure of funds to conduct a feasibility study for combining the St. Croix County
and Pierce County 9-1-1 Centers. Expenditure up to $40,000 to be split evenly with
Pierce County. If this committee approves the resolution it will be presented to County
Board at the next meeting. Administration is working on getting quotes from companies
able to conduct these studies. Swetlik addressed some of the areas which will be
addressed in the study; wages, infrastructure, call volumes, peak call volumes, other
duties performed by staff, current equipment at each site and technology. Each county
has multi-million dollar systems, there will be a cost to combining the two centers. The
cost savings would not be realized until later with savings coming from possible
personnel and equipment savings. If combined the outcome should be a center with
equal or increased capabilities compared to current. Thompson confirmed the
Administration Committee approved to have St. Croix County's portion of the study paid
from the contingency fund. Discussion. An Ostness/Hurtgen motion was made to
approve the resolution. Passed.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Dave Ostness, Supervisor
SECONDER: Joe Hurtgen, Supervisor
