Joint resolution approving a commitment resources, data and $30,000 of financial support from the Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) towards the next phase of the Lake County Consolidated 911 effort.
Staff Summary
* The LCSO, along with various partners, participated in Lake County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) 911 Consolidation Study that looked at consolidating more than a dozen independent primary and secondary Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) in Lake County.
* The results of the study identify the potential benefits of dispatch consolidation which include enhancing coverage and data sharing; as well as realizing operation savings between agencies.

Once selected, the project manager will be the staff lead for all participating communities and public safety entities for the remaining consolidation activities.
* The LCSO is willing to commit to data collection, standardization and analysis, staff time, partial funding for hiring of the project manager and consultants (implementation team) necessary for the detailed data analysis. This commitment includes $30,000 of financial support towards the next phase of consolidation effort.
* The aforementioned commitment will enable the implementation team to calculate cost estimates for various alternatives, and will make recommendations for the most effective and economical cost alternative for consolidation of services.
* The funds have already been approved as a part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 General Operating Expense Budget.
