<br />1. TWO PSAP MODELS --- ALL MODELS <br />" ./ <br /> <br />ie <br />'----- ./ <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />+ Middle-cost options - all three <br />+ Greater geographical knowledge <br />+ Redundancy - short-term improved by passing to second site <br />Labor negotiation issues, but less than four-model (less problem for St. Paul) <br />Single governance board more difficult to achieve <br /> <br />TVVO PSAPs - COMMON BORDERS <br /> <br />+ Maplewood/Saint Paul- Fire-based EMS and move to pre-arrival (ease <br />transition) / Maplewood Police => Fire EMS <br />+ Provides common border for most common mutual aid partners <br />+ Entities that work well together stay together <br />+ If sites properly located, then community-based services could continue. Same <br />for White Bear Lake/Ramsey County (child exchanges, reports, etc.) <br /> <br />TVVO PSAPs - LAW ENFORCEMENT PSAP and FIRE/EMS PSAP <br /> <br />+ <br />+ <br />+ <br />+ <br />+ <br />+ <br />+ <br /> <br />Customized dispatch <br />Better training in each discipline <br />Incorporate 311 center <br />Full-time public service dispatch (Public Works, Parks, etc.) <br />Physical size for redundancy better accommodated <br />Less competition for priorities <br />Cool place to work - increases esprit de corps <br />Loose instant Police dispatcher to Fire/EMS dispatcher communications <br />Lowest FTE requirements of the two PSAP models <br /> <br />+/- <br /> <br />TVVO PSAPs - URBAN / SUBURBAN <br /> <br />+/- One governance body - separate management at PSAP <br />(St. Paul can remain the same; does not change) <br />+ Composition of 911 calls is different between two PSAPs - customize responses <br />+ Call volumes more predictable between the two PSAPs <br />St. Paul may have less back-up capacity <br />
