Results of Negations with MECA and SAFE-T SAFE-T has changed it's arrangements and scope since prior transactions Towers in Mooresville, Danville, Jamestown and Zionsville New radio innovation and understandings by MECA and SAFE-T take into consideration both frameworks to work in a similar radio zone, taking into consideration checking of both frameworks. SAFE-T information framework will be associated with the MECA framework, taking into account extensive utilization of the information framework, for Hendricks AND Marion County officers SAFE-T will permit Public Works and School Officials to utilize simple radios on the framework. By utilizing just a single essential framework for the region, dispatchers will have the capacity to react all the more productively and the cost will be incredibly diminished. New talks have started for building up an all inclusive CAD and data framework, shared by both MECA and the State

OPERATIONAL COMPOSITION Two Boards: Operational Board and Governing Board Operational Board 2 Chief of Police delegates 2 full-time Fire Chief agents 1 Sheriff's Department delegate 1 residential area police office agent 1 provincial fire division delegate EMA Director The Communications Executive Officer – non-voting part Governing Board Plainfield Town Council – Robin Brandgard Hendricks County Commissioner – David Whicker Brownsburg Town Council – TBD on September 14 Danville Town Board – Myron Anderson Avon Town Council – TBD on September 14 Small Town Representative – TBD on September 19 Township Trustee Representative – Tim Griffith, Middle Township Trustee The Boards meet month to month.

There were 49 dispatchers utilized all through Hendricks County for open security dispatching. The Town of Danville had just 1 to 2 dispatchers on obligation whenever and was hoping to increment to at least 2 for each move. Brownsburg had 2 dispatchers for every move. The Sheriff's Department had 3 to 4 dispatchers for each move. Plainfield had 4 to 5 dispatchers for each move. That implied that with the earlier setup of working 4 dispatch focuses, there were from 10 to 13 dispatchers on obligation at any given time all through the region. The aggregate number would have expanded consistently as the territory keeps on developing, particularly for Danville as they were including 4 more dispatchers soon to achieve the 2 least. With 49 dispatchers in one focus, scope for open security can be extraordinarily improved because of the way that there is a ton of radio down time with 4 distinct destinations. The aggregate number of dispatchers accessible with 49 would be reliably set at 11 to 12.

After exploring the requirements of Hendricks County, it was recommended that 38 working dispatchers would all that could possibly be needed to give the required scope. This would bring about roughly 8 alloted to a move, with 3 dispatchers planned amid pinnacle times. The new timetable is 12 hours. No representative ought to be constrained from their occupation accordingly of this venture. Keeping in mind the end goal to achieve this, these investment funds will be viewed thus of steady loss. As workers resign, leave or move to different zones inside their specialization, positions will get to be distinctly empty and won't be filled until we achieve the proposed objective. 2007 Estimated Budget Personnel $2,014,900.00 General Operating $270,900.00 Utility Services $16,150.00 Maintenance $36,000.00 Other Services $30,000.00 2007 TOTAL $2,367,950.00 2006 Total for 4 Sites $2,631,550.00 Estimated Savings $263,550.00
