MR #01079 SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT-CONTRACT FOR FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES FOR
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF COMMERCE AND CREATION OF ONE SHERIFF
COMMUNICATION AGENT:
The Sheriff's Department is permitted to enter into contractual agreements for the purpose of Fire Dispatch
services. The Charter Township of Commerce has requested the Sheriff's Department to dispatch fire calls
for the Commerce Township Fire Department. The Sheriff's Department and Management & Budget are
recommending a flat rate of $28,000 per year for this service with a new three year agreement negotiated
when all the Fire Dispatch Agreements expire on 3/31/02. The Sheriff is requesting the creation of one
Sheriff Communication Agent position in the communications Unit. The majority of the cost of this
position is covered by the agreement.
Suarez moved to report to the full Board with the recommendation MR #01079 be adopted.
Supported by Brian.
Motion carried on unanimous roll call vote with Coleman, Buckley and Gregory absent.
MR #01070 DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT & BUDGET AND DRAIN COMMISSIONER –
REVERSE PREVIOUS BUDGET ACTION TRANSFERRING STAFF ASSISTANT POSITION
FROM DRAIN COMMISSIONER TO PURCHASING DIVISION AND CREATION OF BUYER
II POSITION:
The FY2001 Budget and General Appropriations Act approved the transfer of the financial and purchasing
functions, including three positions, from the Drain Commission to the Department of Management and
Budget. After closer examination of this proposed change the transfer of the Staff Assistant position from
the Drain Commission to the Purchasing Division is detrimental to the ongoing administrative coordination
needs of the Drain office. Therefore, it is requested the transferring of the Staff Assistant position and
reclassification to Buyer II should be reversed. However, the need still exists for a Buyer II position within
the Purchasing Division for procurement functions related to the Drain Commissioner.
Suarez moved to report to the full Board with the recommendation MR #01070 be adopted.
Supported by Galloway.
Motion carried on unanimous roll call vote with Coleman, Buckley and Gregory absent.
