Roscommon Central Dispatch asks commissioners to support restoring 1-mill operations levy
Summary
Roscommon County Central Dispatch Director Jessica Gilbert asked the board to support a ballot question restoring the dispatch operating millage to one mill (to correct for the Headlee rollback); Gilbert said Central Dispatch handled more than 38,000 calls in 2025 and warned that technology and staffing needs make funding essential.
Jessica Gilbert, director of Roscommon County Central Dispatch, requested the board's support April 8 for placing a millage restoration on the August ballot to restore the dispatch operating millage to its original one mill and offset the Headlee rollback.
Gilbert said the dispatch center handled more than 38,000 total calls in 2025 and described increasing technology and staffing demands. "This initiative would restore our operating millage to its original 1 mill, correcting for the Headley rollback," Gilbert said. She asked the board to consider approving the ballot placement at the next meeting; commissioners indicated they would move forward with scheduling that approval at the appropriate time following the authority board's recommendation.
