However, those <br />costs would be transferred to the County and Arden Hills residents could end up paying an overall higher <br />amount for dispatch services, <br /> <br />Administrator/Staff Comments: <br />A consolidated dispatch center offers many potential benefits including operating efficiencies and better <br />staffing for large emergencies, Analysis of the County's proposal continues, but at this time it appears <br />that we should be concerned about the financing plan and potentially also the governance of the center. <br />Until more is known I would recommend our support be conditional on working through those items, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
