Motion was made, seconded and carried to ,adjourn at 10:35 P.M. Acting Mayor February 9, 1968 Mr. Don Kost Mr. Leslie Linder Mr. Jay Alrick Mr. Allen Travaille Mr. Frank Broderius Mr. Frank Engelhart We were asked to investigate various possibilities in the City, assuming the Emergency Dispatching presently being handled by the Hutchinson Telephone Co. The following should be considered. 1. Service required: 24 hrs/day - 7 days/week = 722 hr./mo. 2. Present service @ $700 mo. = $0.97/hr. 3. Virtually no expenditure for equipment would be required. Possibilities: I. (a) Place desk and/or table in south end of old liquor store; (b) Man with combination male -female -type help @ average of $1.75 per hour (minimum) Advantages: (1) Cheapest possible arrangement. Disadvantages: (1) Little to be gained from personnel (2) No direct supervision II. (a) Place desk -shelf in Police Station coat closet area; (b) Provide coat closet area in south west corner of Council room with matching paneling; (c) Man with one (1) female clerk during day shift - five (5) days/wk. ($225.00/mo.) and three (3) patrolmen -type during balance of time (@$425 = $1275) for a cost of $1500.00/mo. as a minimum. Possibly salaries would be higher. Advantages: (1) Clerk could do Police Dept. typing, filing and posting, and such other clerical type work as could be brought to her and time would permit; (2) Patrolman on duty virtually 100% of time, day and night; (3) Could serve as bondsman; (4) Personnel would be in being if and/or when jail attendent is required. (5) Would be under the direct supervision of Chief of Police. Page 2 Disadvantages: (1) Crowding an already crowed situation. III. (a) Move Police dept. into area vacated by Liquor Store (b) Remodel that area to accommodate Police Dept. (no cost has been obtained - should be minimal). (c) Man with same personnel as listed in II above. Advantages: (1) Some improvement in available floor space (800 sq. ft. VS 300 sq. ft.) (2) Would be in closer proximity to jail to accomplish jail supervision when required. Disadvantages: (1) Would be only a temporary relief in crowding; not a permanent solution. (2) Cost of remodeling would be lost if and/or when adequate police facilities are provided. IV. (a) Proceed with remodeling city hall to provide Police Dept. with adequate facilities, i.e., dispatching, jail, conference rooms, garage, etc. as proposed approximately one (1) year ago. (b) Man with personnel as outlined in II. (c) Estimated cost $40,000-$50,000. Advantages: (1) Adequate Police Dept. facilities for approximately ten (10) to fifteen (15) years. Disadvantages: (1) Insufficient time for present council to study and coordinate over-all needs of city administration i.e., Fire Dept., Liquor Store, etc. V. (a) Contract with Hutchinson Telephone Co. to continue to provide service. (b) Estimated cost of $1500 month (Mr..Mark Clay) Advantages: (1) Buying time Disadvantages: (1) City would be receiving no direct benefit from personnel other than telephone answering service. It is recommended that these possiblities be considered prior to and discussed at the February 12, 1968, Council Meeting. It would be highly desirable to arrive at a decision at that time.
