Town approves $45,000 dispatch contract to serve Wethersfield police
Summary
The board approved a $45,000 dispatch contract to provide dispatching services for the new Wethersfield police force, with a 2.5% annual increase in years two and three. Staff said the staffing level will not need to increase.
The Woodstock Select Board approved a contract to provide dispatch services to the neighboring town of Wethersfield, beginning immediately at $45,000 per year with a 2.5% increase over the next two years.
Municipal Manager Eric Duffy said the fee was set based on expected call volume and that the town would not need to add dispatch staff to accommodate the work. The board discussed volume data and confirmed the contract had already been approved by Wethersfield; the motion to adopt the contract carried without opposition.
