<br /> . <br /> . <br /> A. Proposed Applicants . <br /> The lead department would be Ramsey County Sheriff's Dispatch and the <br /> collaborators would be the cities of Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, Little Canada, <br /> North Oaks, Arden Hills, Little Canada, Fakon Heights, Lake Johanna Fire, New <br /> Brighton Fire, Little Canado. Fire, Falcon Heights Fire, Roseville Fire and Vadnais <br /> Heights Fire. Area fire departments work rogether under a Mutual Aid contract. <br /> B_ Proposed Project <br /> Ramsey County has made a significant investment in recent years to develop a <br /> computerized geographical base map through the County Surveyor's Office and the <br /> Department of Property Records and Revenue. This base map is capable of linking <br /> daJa sets and planimetric features such as roadways, utilities, property records, and <br /> census information. GIS based information also has many emergency service <br /> applications. This project pertains to the development of a system that would <br /> integrate GIS technology with existing fire and rescue response procedures. <br /> PROJECT PHASING <br /> Phase I of this project would allow the conversion of data from the Ramsey <br /> County Surveyor's Office to a usable for;nat by the cities to gain information . <br /> on city mapping, city water main mapping with hydrant location and main <br /> size, temporary data such as road closures, etc., preplan information such as <br /> key holders, service location at the building site and persons to notify in the <br /> event access is required. Hazardous materials located in the buildings would <br /> be described in this phase, also disabled people notification and a list of other <br /> responsible public safety agencies that would have to be notified. <br /> Phase I of this project would allow the cities within Ramsey County to obtain <br /> and to manage the daJa to complete the remaining phases of this project. <br /> With this information compiled during the next five to ten years, it would be <br /> in a usable format by the completion of Phase II. <br /> Phase II of this project would include a continued gathering of information <br /> such as city storm sewer mapping including structure locations, city sanitary <br /> sewer locations with structures, presence of hazardous materials at call <br /> addresses, and a list of responsible parties and agencies to notify. <br /> Phase III would be the coordination of a centralized dispatch system for all <br /> agencies within Ramsey County. This would include the participation of all <br /> emergency service agencies. This system would support "best routing" <br /> information to help minimize response times, further reducing property loss <br /> and injury. Best routing information Can also lower fuel consumption and . <br /> equipment wear. <br /> ---- <br />
