(Terry Traynor, NDACo,
& Russ Lindblom, 911 Wireless Coordinator will discuss a DRAFT emergency
services communication cost survey to address the 57-40.6-12 requirement and a
DRAFT wireless agreement.)
Terry Traynor discussed draft surveys. One survey is for counties that contract with
others for PSAP Service & the other survey is for PSAP Counties. ESCS...is defined within your county. Any questions or comments regarding this
draft survey should be sent to Janelle Pepple, ND 911 Association
President. The Wireless Committee will
be meeting to finalize this survey and send it out to Association members by
the beginning of July. Once you receive
this survey it will need to be completed by August.
Terry Traynor also talked about the Joint Powers Agreement. This Agreement is for all Counties/Cities that
will be agreeing to Purchase Wireless 911 Implementation. It formally requests Phase I & Phase II
at a future time. By the end of June a
final contract with prices in place for the Counties & Cities should be
sent out to all entities to sign. Have your
States Attorney look at the draft contract; if there are any questions or
concerns, you need to contact Terry Traynor. If any County/City decides to not sign...then
they will not be a part of the Statewide 911 contract. Once these contracts are signed then the
Wireless 911 funds will be released & able to be used for the 911
System.

Meeting
called to order at
Wireless
911 Update and Project 38/Project Locate Update: (Russ Lindblom, 911 Wireless Coordinator, and Gary Kostelecky,
Stark/Dunn County 911 Coordinator).
Russ Lindblom explained how Phase I & II will technically work on
the network. He talked about Wireless
911 negotiations and how important it is that we are doing this as a state.
This will enable all counties/cities to save money on Wireless 911 Implementation
costs. Each PSAP will have to work
individually on the ability to receive Phase I & II wireless signals. Quest will work with anyone who may want to
switch their Wire-Line Database over to Intrado...it
may be cheaper to go this way ...talk to Russ Lindblom if you are looking into
this possibility. Russ suggested that if
anyone has any questions about anything please contact him.
HB1409:
(Mr. Tom Henning, Stark County States Attorney will provide his interpretation
of the Attorney General Opinion released earlier this month.) Mr. Henning states how far away you are in
time is the closest ambulance to send. It is clearly a matter of time response. The Level of necessary response required may
require a tiered response. The 911
Coordinator is responsible for making a good faith effort in drawing the
ambulance lines and predetermines who will be called to the Medical Emergency Scene
for the Dispatch. Ambulance lines will
change in the future as new Ambulance or Quick Response Units are developed or
dissolved. Tim Wiedrich
& Shelly Arnold from the State Health Department were also present and gave
comments.
