in the Valley Communications Center. Mr. Barnes reported that the center is projected to be
operational the first part of June or July, 1977, and that the cost to the City of Auburn
for 1977 is approximately $70,000. This $70,000 figure was projected when the center was
expected to open in February or March, 1977, and with the later opening date, will be reduced.
This figure includes costs for capital outlay as well as personnel. The costs to Auburn
in 1978 will be approximately $40,000, to cover the city.s share of personnel costs. This
cost will be lowered by the city's share of whatever revenue the communications center derives
from servir~ caarges to other participating agencies; perhaps lowered by as much as half.
Expenses for future capital outlay is expected to come from grant monies.
Councilman Craig questioned the efficiency of tre communications center system, and whether
it would result in a true cost savings to the City of Auburn.
Mr. Barnes explained how the system would work concerning calls from the Auburn area, and
indicated that response time and quality would be equal to that currently enjoyed by Auburn
ci ti zens.
Chief Scyler commented that his department would still have to maintain a 24-hour dispatch
capability in addition to using the communication center dispatch system, in order to cover
for possible emergency should the center have a break-down, and to respond to the 86 local
burglary alarms currently based in the station. However, participation in the communication
center would decrease his requirements for dispatch personnel, at a savings of around
$30,000 a year. He indicated that the central communications center would be very helpful
to the police in dp'.~ ;ng with problems effecting nearby jurisdictions, allowing them to
work together tJ solve them.
Chief Spencer reported that use of the communications center would free one of the firemen
for full time duty as a fireman, rather than a dispatcher, and that his department is in need
of such extra work 7orce. He also noted that using the communications center, fire calls
would be transmitted more quickly and additional help could be obtained from nearby fire
departments if needed, resulting in less loss of property and lives. He commented that this
could perhaps lead to a better class rating for the city which would lead to lower fire
insurance for businesses and citizens.
I
Councilman Lea asked Chief Scyler and Chief Spencer to indicate any present problems they have
that would merit the participation in the communications center.
Chief Scyler answered his department has no present problems with the eXisting communication I
system, except that it does require using two patrolmen for dispatchers part time, when they
could be used on the street, and that it does not allow easy communtation with nearby police
jurisdictions.
Chief Spencer answered that the present communications his department has takes one fireman
away from his duties as a fireman, and does not allow cooperation with nearby fire jurisdic-
t ions.
Councilman Anderson commented that it is difficult to weigh the intangible costs and returns
of the communications center, but that it will lead to an overall upgrading of the city's
police and fire services to the citizens. He also noted that with the Mayor as a member of
the board that oversees the operation of thecommunications center, the city will have a
definite say in the service it provides.
Chief Skewes of Kent noted that with the current requirements fIDr service of the cities invol-
ved in the center, we must look closely at utilizing our manpower more efficiently. He also
stated that some of the vagueness about the costs of the center were due to a problem in making
plans after commiting to the center, rather than before.
Councilman Larson asked what the costs would be of maintaining the current system in the new
city hall.
Chief Scyler indicated that he would need additional dispatchers and also jailers without the
communications center. Currently, dispatchers also act as part time jailers.
At the suggestion of Mayor Kersey, the council agreed to refer this subjec~ back to the next
Public Safety Committee meeting to further discuss some of the questions brought up, and to
make a- recommendat i on to the cou ncil .
