Title

Joint resolution authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding between the Lake County Sheriff's Office and the County of Lake Emergency Telephone System Board for the funding of enhanced 9-1-1 wireless emergency telephone call taking service.

Staff Summary

·      The Sheriff's Office employs call takers and dispatchers who serve both 9-1-1 call-takers for the Lake County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) and call-takers and dispatchers for the Sheriff's Department in unincorporated Lake County.

·      In 2002, the ETSB agreed to use "wireless surcharge" revenues to fund salary and benefits for three and one-half (3.5) FTE call takers for the Sheriff, not to exceed $50,000 per employee per year, or $175,000 in total.

·      The County Board is recognized as the legal body that signs agreements for the Lake County ETSB, and therefore, annually must renew the agreement.
