NON-ACTION ITEMS
1. Radio Update – David Jones related that they would work on Capitan next week.
He stated that the solar system and batteries were in and they were getting the propane
working for the generator. Their desire is to get the microwave in before snow then move
to Mesa and Dunken. They will then be on standby for the completion of the Hagerman
Tower.
The Hagerman tower project: Tower is at 200ft and the connex is on site. There needs to
be grounding and entry ports for cables and a bridge from the building to the tower that
will be an additional expense. County Manager Bill Williams advised Code 3 to direct
the quote for that to the county. The plan for Hagerman going forward is to rack
everything and then lock it up to wait for tower completion.
2. PVRCC Operations Report: Alison Herring reported that PVRCC maintains full staffing.
2 recruits have shifted trainers and shift times to facilitate the final portion of their on-
the-job training. 2 telecommunicators have graduated from the State Academy to include
the director. 3 of PVRCC’s supervisors are in the final days of their leadership training
course. Heavy training is scheduled for January and February for the entire PVRCC staff
for their certification in the Priority Dispatch System. The director and training
coordinator remain on the floor with trainees.
Grant update: Priority Stakeholder kick off meetings are being conducted on site with
Priority Dispatch December 1, 2, and 3.
Reported issues: Camera access is still not available for the building. Mac Rogers states
they are in the process of performing updates to rectify this. Dispatch has had some
problems with key card entry. It was advised that the 2 cards required negate each other
and need to be separated. This may fix the problem.
November statistics for PVRCC phone calls: 90 VOIP 911; 302 landline 911; 2,854
wireless 911; and 8,755 admin calls for total call volume of 12,001. This is an unexpected
decrease in volume.
County Manager Bill Williams made a request that the City Manager be asked to support
Karen Sanders as the PVRCC Board Member at large. Deputy City Manager Mike
Mathews states he will consult Joe Neeb as the member must be appointed by both the
County and City Managers according to the Joint Powers Agreement.
County Manager Bill Williams referenced the requirement of PVRCC to submit a draft
budget to the county by March 1 of each year. He further requests that the county be
supplied with a monthly update on PVRCC’s budget spending. He states that there were
some expenses recently of which the county was not forewarned.
County Manager Bill Williams stated that Mac Rogers was working on an RFP to engage
an electrical architect in furthering the project to buildout Area D of the County
Administration Building in preparation to move dispatch. Teri Best asked if this was just
for the bathrooms. CM Williams replied that this would be for the whole project. Mike
Mathews requested that he be involved in this process.
TABLED ACTION ITEM
Deputy City Manager Mike Mathews called for nomination of new PVRCC Board Chair
for 2022. County Manager Bill Williams nominated Chief Matt Miller. Chief Phil Smith
gave 2nd. Vote was unanimous naming Chief Matt Miller Chair of the PVRCC Board 7-0.
