Clark County adopts new dispatch pricing models effective Jan. 1, 2027

Board of Clark County Commissioners · August 12, 2026

Summary

County commissioners adopted a new fee schedule for dispatch calls aligned to call volume and a separate flat annual fee schedule for village and township law enforcement, effective Jan. 1, 2027; the change matches CPI increases and will not affect contracted townships until contracts expire.

The Board adopted a new pricing model for dispatch calls for service, effective Jan. 1, 2027, intended to better align fees with call volumes and updated costs after the county and City of Springfield adopted a new dispatch model.

Administrator Jennifer Hutchinson said the schedule ties per-call fees to prior-year call volumes (with a tiered price schedule) and a minimum annual fee for agencies; a separate plan sets small municipalities' law-enforcement annual fees by population bands. Hutchinson said the increase is intended to match the consumer price index and would not immediately affect smaller townships still under existing contracts until those contracts expire.

Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-0639 to adopt the pricing models. Staff said the change will take effect Jan. 1, 2027, and asked the county to coordinate implementation with partner jurisdictions.
