not the business.

groups to use and there is a great potential for incidents and exposure to
drugs and bad influences and that these places attract that atmosphere. Roll

5. COUNTRYSIDE
FIRE PROTECTION EMERGENCY DISPATCH
PROPOSAL
Chief
Fleischhauer noted the detailed memo that was part of the Board’s packet of
materials. Countryside had conducted a
Needs Assessment back in 1997 and the Chief used this document as a blueprint
to estimate the cost of establishing the level of service outlined. His
estimate in the first year is $593,000, 2nd year; $314,000, & 3rd
year; $346,000. He is looking for
Village Board direction. Manager Allison
would recommend considering CentCom with cost being a big factor. Chief Fleischhauer stated that the training
and personnel costs will continue to go up with the certifications required for
these positions. He also mentioned that
it would add 4-6 weeks to the training period for new dispatchers with no
direct benefit to the existing Police Dept. Trustee Ryg would like to see some
sharing of the E911 funds on a formula basis-maybe tied to the number of
calls. Trustee Cashman asked if the
alarm panels are to stay where they are?
He also asked that extra costs to the businesses should be avoided. Chief Fleischhauer stated that he would have
a report in 30 days.
6. ADJOURNMENT

Trustee Koch to adjourn the Committee of the Whole meeting to go to Closed
Session to discuss property disposition. Roll call vote:
AYES: 6 – Henley, Koch, Ryg, Black,

Motion declared carried.
