County near 911 terms in dispute with Ottawa deal
Franklin County Attorney Wendell Barker recommended striking the language on dispatcher numbers from the 911 agreement with Ottawa while preserving a 50 50 cost split and county sheriff control. The advisory board would still give communities a voice. Barker noted insurance coverage for 911 workers remains via the city payroll and urged addressing staffing levels at budget time. Separate business covered applying for up to 400 000 in community development block grant funds for a Williamsburg Pomona road reconstruction project with an 850 000 cost estimate and two hearings set for April 29.
