<br /> <br />Commissioner Flescher felt it would be best if the dispatchers are familiar with the <br />area and he supported this item. <br /> <br />Chairman Wheeler strongly supported this request and commented that it would <br />take a “load off” the Sheriff’s office. He felt Sebastian should have the right to police and <br />patrol their own people and that it was not up to the County to dictate how the City of <br />Sebastian should run their community. If the Board wanted to look at workshops to <br />consolidate they could, but in the mean time, he wanted the 22,000 in Sebastian to get the <br />service they should have from their own police department. <br /> <br />Discussion continued regarding calls lost or placed on hold. The Board accepted <br />input from Deputy Chief David Currey regarding the handling of calls “on hole” by the <br />dispatchers. <br /> <br />Joe Paladin <br /> wanted Commissioner Davis and Vice Chair Bowden to lean towards <br />looking at the “gray” area, and advised the Board to do the same. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O’Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, by a 3-2 <br />vote (Commissioner Davis and Vice Chair Bowden <br />opposed) the Board approved Option 3, to direct <br />staff to implement a PSAP for the Sebastian Police <br />Department. <br /> <br />The Chairman called for a recess at 12:00 p.m. and he reconvened the meeting at <br />12:19 p.m. with all members present. <br /> <br />11.C.GENERALSERVICES <br /> <br />December 19, 2006 22 <br /> <br />
