Commissioner Wodtke inquired about the City of Vero Beach and City of Sebastian dispatching, and Commissioner Lyons advised" that anything to the City of Vero Beach will not go into this dispatching center; it will go to their own console. The City of Sebastian Police Department now dispatches on a 24 hour basis, and the proposal is to put the same kind of console there that is in the City of Vero Beach. Anything in the Sebastian City limits would go to their own dispatching center which would be run by that city, and they would call all the emergency services involved with that particular call. Anything outside their city limits would go through the Sheriff's central dispatch. Commissioner Wodtke believed it was being indicated that the system has enough flexibility if we want to change over at some time, and Chairman Scurlock confirmed that it is a very flexible system and can accommodate more participation. Chairman Scurlock asked what action is needed today, and Commissioner Lyons stated that they would like to have permis- sion, as soon as the numbers can be gotten together, to take them to the Finance Advisory Committee to be sure we get the money in the budget to do this. Some of this, they would like to do even prior to the bond issue. They will come back with two kinds of proposals - things they want to do and buy right away which can be moved into the final stages of the system, and also bring to the Board as quickly as possible the overall cost. OMB Director Baird emphasized that he would like an overall breakdown as far as the capital cost and also the annual operating costs of running the system. Sheriff Dobeck stated that he would like a Motion from the Commission indicating that they have accepted this concept and will move forward. 40
