TO: Vinton Town Council
FROM: Christopher S. Lawrence, Town Manager
DATE: December 11, 2009
SUBJECT: Consideration of the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the
Operation of a Merged Emergency Communications Center with Roanoke
County
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
On 12/01/09, Council held a joint work session with the Roanoke County Board of
Supervisors to hear the results of a feasibility study focused on the concept of operating
a merged Emergency Communications Center. Below is a summary of the findings of
that report.
A shared communications center, with proper implementation, offers significant service
improvements to the County and Town as well as the citizens and visitors to the
Roanoke Valley. By establishing high standards of performance and assuring that
those standards of service are consistently achieved and that the center is well
managed and properly staffed the service level provided to all of the citizens will be
equal to or better than the highest levels provided now.
Cost savings, cost avoidance, improved service delivery and quality coupled with
greater operational efficiency, significantly improved grant competitiveness, seamless
delivery of EMD services and greater potential for enhanced 911 services are just some
of the service improvement benefits a merged center would provide. The Steering
Committee believes that a merger of the Town and County's emergency
communications centers makes both economic and service delivery sense for both
localities.
The attached Memorandum of Understanding outlines the financial and operational
obligations associated with the establishment and ongoing maintenance of a shared
communications center.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All financial details relevant to the merged center are outlined as appendix to the attached
MOU. However, all funding required to implement the merged center will either be paid
directly by the the Town of Vinton or otherwise reimbursed in a timely manner.
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue to operate independent Emergency Communications Centers.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council consider accepting an invitation by the Board of
Supervisors to partner with Roanoke County in the operation a merged Emergency
Communications Center. Staff also recommends that after receiving an invitation by the
Board authorize the Town Manager to execute the attached Memorandum of
Understanding should the Town accept the County's invitation.
