Meeting called to order: Meeting was called to order by Jerry Bergquist at approximately 1:00 PM (CT).

Round Table introductions were made (see attached for members in attendance).

HB 1409: Tim Wiedrich(State Health Dept), Representative Dale Severson (Sponsor of HB 1409), & Denise Hendrickson (APCO Training Committee). Tim W. expanded on the following: (1.) Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) requirements: EMD is now required by law. There is a time frame of six months for the administrative rule making process. The Health Department will train & pick those to be trained as EMD Instructors. They are looking at a two-year window to get all required personal trained. EMD Training will continue to be a generic (NHTSA) 24 hour class with a 7 hour refresher class every 2 years. (2.) EMS Response Areas (Emergency Medical Service-quick response units defined HB 1202 page 3, Section 7.23-27-02.): It is now required by law that the nearest EMS Service be sent to the location of medical emergency when a person dials 9-1-1. (3.) Tim W. would like to work with a Committee from the Association of 3-4 members. This EMS Boundry Committee will work with the State Health Department in ensuring that throughout the state the nearest EMS Service will respond. This committee will also include members of the EMS Association. The EMS Boundry Committee, that will work with the State Health Dept., as requested by Tim W., is as follows: Gayla Meier, Janelle Pepple, & Tammy Lapp. But, in the end, the counties will have to work this out at the local level...common sense will have to prevail. Tim W. suggests getting Medical Directors, Ambulance Coordinators & the Chairman of the Ambulance Board together to work this out.

HB 2415: Jim Fleming%Attorney General’s Office, explained the impact of HB 2415: Open records laws...allows the Public access to information generated at the County Government level. The State Law right now protects all records received from the phone company. On August 1, 2001 all information, except for non-published phone numbers are public knowledge. The intent of HB 2415 was to give the Treasurer & Auditor access to this information without going through the phone company and paying for it. HB 2415 takes away the distinction of what information came from the phone company & what information you obtained at the local level. HB 2415 obligates you to provide this information to the Auditor or Treasurer upon request. You may set a policy on others being able to obtain this information. Jim F. suggests that we make some exemptions on certain types of information found in the 911 Databases for the next Legislative Session.

SB 2067: Terry Traynor%NDACo talked about how to begin implementing the Wireless 911 fee. Terry T. stated that information will be given out to the Auditors to help them understand what they will be required to do and why. Terry T. will get a list of Cellular Companies & addresses that have licenses in ND for notification by the County/City Auditors. Also, the NDACo’s will come to your County Commission meeting to aid anyone that requests it. Once you start collecting this wireless 911 fee you will have 24 months to request Wireless 911 Enhanced service from the Cellular Companies. All Wireless fees must go into a separate account and you are not able to access these monies until contracts are signed with the Wireless Companies. Jerry Bergquist suggested that one contract be signed with each Wireless Carrier. Discussed the 3 member Committee that will report to the Legislative Council in November, 2002. Representative Dale Severson explained that this report will give us a chance to show the Legislature why we need the Wireless Fee and where we plan to go with the 911 System.

Motion to adjourn: Janelle Pepple made motion to adjourn. Gayla Meier seconded this motion. Meeting adjourned at 5pm(CT).

Meeting called to order by Jerry Bergquist at 8 AM(CT).

SB2067: Mark Johnson%NDACo Director, addressed the Association with the following proposal:

NDACo would like to be the integrator to help us get the Wireless Enhanced 911 Technology implemented statewide. The NDACo would work with an Advisory Group to hire a 911 Project Manager, to help implement Wireless 911 statewide, for a period of 6 months to 1 year, with an understanding that the NDACo would be reimbursed later. This 911 Project Manager would be an employee of the NDACo, but under the policy and direction of the Advisory Group. This Advisory Group would consist of only one Board member being from the NDACo and the other members from the ND 911 Association. Looking at a possible budget of $80,000. If the Association agrees, then Mark will go back to the NDACo Board for approval of this project. The next NDACo Board meeting is on June 27, 2001. Mark requested that a couple of representatives from the Association attend this NDACo Board meeting also. This Wireless 911 Committee is as follows: Becky Ault, Glenn Ellingsberg, Carmen Reed, Mike Dannenfelzer, Sherwood Monroe, Gary Kostelecky, Denise Hendrickson & Rick Hessinger. Jim Campbell made the motion for the 911 Association to be a part of the NDACo proposal. Janelle Pepple seconded this motion. All in favor. Motion Passed.

Glenn Ellingsberg made a motion to support implementation of the 911 wireless fee on a statewide basis, using the Draft Notice & Resolution provided by the NDACo. This motion was seconded by Ken Halvorson. All in favor. Motion passed.

Gary Kostelecky will make copies of signed wireless 911 negotiation agreements & send out to all jurisdictions that had a signed contract. 911 Coordinators will have a copy of signed agreement to take to their commissioners when talking to them about implementing this fee.

Public Relations Committee Report by Janelle Pepple: News clippings ended in May, 2001, and contain nothing negative or controversial regarding 911 issues. Terry Traynor states that the NDACo could add 911 to their Clipping Service at no charge. Janelle Pepple made a motion to have NDACo add "911" to their Clippings Service. Gayla Meier seconded this motion. All in favor. Motion passed.

Consensus was to destroy the old clippings...due to the fact that there is nothing news worthy in them. Will look at doing an article for the Winter Weather Awareness Week.

Request to ND EMS Association: As requested, Jerry B. sent a letter to Derek Hanson %ND EMS Association, requesting they consider adding a 911 Association Member to their Board.

Derek H. sent the date of the next meeting, June 24, at 9AM-early afternoon in Minot at International Inn & invited us to attend. Janelle Pepple is willing to go to these Board Meetings & establish better relations. Gary Kostelecky made the motion to send Janelle Pepple to this EMS meeting in June, with the ND 911 Association paying her expenses....then see if it will benefit us to have her continue to attend these meetings. Becky Ault seconded this motion. All members in favor. Motion passed.
