Officials say GIS study and new 911 facility will inform planning; county offers assistance
Summary
Speakers said a GIS station-placement study is nearing completion and will inform where stations and staffing should go; county officials also announced a new 911 facility opening next year with training space available to local agencies.
Participants said a GIS study being completed by the firefighters' union will provide data on station placement and staffing needs, and chiefs and trustees agreed to await those results before finalizing organizational choices.
Chief Frazier said, "There's a GIS study that's supposed to be done at the end of August," and several speakers urged that planning and fiscal analyses follow the study. A county official also announced the county's 911 facility is expected to open next year and will include training and meeting space available to local departments, offering an additional regional asset for planning and joint training.
Commissioners and staff volunteered technical assistance for trustee-led organization efforts and requested that trustees inform the county when they have a unified plan.
