RESOLUTION 17-1
Aro stated this was discussed at last week’s work session. Genesee Central Dispatch has
requested the City’s support of the 9-1-1 surcharge increase. The proposal is to increase the surcharge from $1.24 to $1.86 per device. This item is tentatively scheduled to be placed on the
May 2017 ballot for voter consideration. He stated the City receives 2.76% of Genesee County’s
9-1-1 surcharge revenue and will result in approximately $67,000 of additional revenue that
would come to the City. He is recommending approval of a resolution in support of the
surcharge increase request. Markland asked if the additional $67,000 in revenue is before or after the 20% service
charge is applied. Aro responded $67,000 is the gross amount, the 20% service charge would be
deducted from that amount.
Osborn inquired if the City receives a breakdown of what’s included with the service
charge. Smith stated at last week’s work session, the City Manager indicated he would speak with the County about negotiating a lower percentage and asked if anything had come of that.
