Summary

The committee voted to forward the renewal of the long-standing joint powers agreement with the City of Wausau designating the county's PSAP and enabling grant eligibility for E-911 services; the motion carried with no recorded opposition.

Administrator Lance introduced the recurring item to renew Marathon County's joint powers agreement with the City of Wausau that designates a single public safety answering point (PSAP) for the county and makes the county eligible for related grant services. He told the committee the draft agreement appeared in the meeting packet and that the county has had a long-standing partnership with Wausau for the PSAP role.

A motion was made to forward the renewal to the county board for consideration, the item received a second, and the committee voted in favor. No substantive questions delayed the vote; Lance deferred detailed operational questions to Captain Webber, who was present but did not lead the discussion at committee time.

The renewal is a routine administrative action to maintain a designated PSAP and associated grant eligibility; the committee carried the motion to forward the agreement to the county board.
