The system will create <br />19 <br />avenues for system wide sharing of data for police, fire, dispatch, jail and emergency <br />20 <br />management use. Bonding for the system was authorized bythe state legislature in 2011. <br />21 <br />Currently development of the system is ready to go forward with vendors identified and <br />22 <br />contracts to be considered at the next Joint Law Enforcement Council (JLEC) meeting. <br />23 <br />The mayor discussed with staff the benefits thecity would see from the new system, <br />24 <br />including better connectivity (i.e. police and fire could access building plans on-line to <br />25 <br />assist with an emergency situation). Council Member Stoesz, who represents the city on <br />26 <br />the JLEC, noted that he envisions thisdeveloping as a good program but he does want to <br />27 <br />see a good implementation plan included and due consideration of privacy elements. <br />28 <br />When Council Member Rafferty asked about controlling costs and possibly taking longer <br />29 <br />to look at the proposal, Chief Swenson responded that the current computer aided <br />30 <br />dispatch (CAD) system really needs to be updated and there is benefit to joining this <br />31 <br />effort now. <br />32 <br />33 <br />No official action was required by the council but the council concurred that the JLEC <br />34 <br />should continue to movethe project forward. <br />35 <br />36 <br />2.Special Work Session for November 18, 2013 <br />-The council scheduled to review <br />37 <br />the City’s public improvement and special assessment process and to discuss options for <br />38 <br />financing future projects.
