ADOPTED: April 8, 2014 City Clerk Excerpt from City Commission Highlights Prepared by Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer E-911 Operational Study Presentation Stuart McElhaney with Almont Associates, an independent consulting firm, presented to the Mayor and Commissioners an overview of the operational review Almont conducted regarding the Paducah - McCracken Emergency Communication Center (E-911). The Center receives non -emergency calls and calls via 911 often totaling nearly 160,000 calls per year. Across the nation, 911 services are funded primarily through landline and to a lesser extent wireless user fees. However, the decline in the popularity of landline telephones has left many E-911 centers with extremely tight budgets. The Paducah -McCracken County E-911 Center engaged Almont Associates to search for operational efficiencies. Paducah Fire Chief Steve Kyle who also serves on the E-911 Board says, "This is a good time to do an overall assessment of our operations." Almont was asked to look at operational design and staffing models, governance structure, and technology and information exchange. After reviewing the current operations and meeting with board members, center staff, and various officials, Almont provided numerous recommendations including a reduction in the size of the board and the placement of the Center under City governance as a City department for effective management control. Almont also recommends a change in the organization's staffing structure and shift schedules to streamline the staff with the recommendation to eliminate the Assistant Director position. Almont also proposes a consolidation with Mercy Regional Ambulance's EMS dispatch center. Regarding the E-911 center Chief Kyle says, "We've got good folks over there. They have a tremendous workload. They are doing the best they can with what they have." Commissioner Richard Abraham says, "We need to make sure the dispatchers have the tools to do what they need to do." To reduce call volume, Almont recommends discontinuing the dispatch of animal control calls from the E-911 center. Almont also made capital and infrastructure recommendations including an upgrade of the computer assisted dispatch system and building improvements. City Manager Jeff Pederson says, "There's a lot to digest, and we need to take these recommendations seriously." Chief Kyle says the E-911 Board will review Almont's report and develop recommendations to present to the City and County. The City Commission plans to further discuss the E-911 Center once they receive the recommendations from the E-911 Board. 393 q -.r.; I I, 1 i l r I i; i 1 cr 1 am f' 1 T l _,.
