Elmsford trustees review shared dispatch and records system with Scarsdale
Loading...
Summary
Trustees reviewed a proposal to join Scarsdale in a shared dispatch and records system, noting the current system is unsupported and that Scarsdale recently approved the initial agreement; trustees were asked to approve an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) and shared-access contract.
Trustee (Speaker 2) asked the board to approve a shared dispatch and records system that Elmsford would enter through an intermunicipal agreement with Scarsdale. “This is our new dispatch and recording and, record system for both police and fire,” Speaker 2 said, adding the current system is aging and cannot be supported.
Speaker 2 said Scarsdale recently approved its initial agreement with the vendor and that Elmsford would become a secondary participant through an IMA and a separate agreement for shared access. He said the shared arrangement would save both municipalities money and that part of the cost is already budgeted for the current year while other costs would be budgeted in future years.
Trustees and staff discussed prior vendor transitions and the operational benefits of a consolidated system. Speaker 4 indicated limited personal information about integration but did not oppose the police department taking the lead. Speaker 3 and other trustees asked technical and budget-related questions about rollout timing and whether IT support would be needed for an electronic implementation.
No formal vote or approval was recorded in the transcript excerpt; Speaker 2 presented the packet and asked trustees to approve the documents on the agenda. The board did not record a mover, second, or final tally in the provided transcript.
The meeting record shows trustees intend to coordinate implementation details with the police department and IT staff before final adoption; any formal action or vote was not recorded in the supplied transcript.
