RE: "�°;�cceptance of McKnight Grant for the 911 Emergency
>�ommunication Center Project
The McKnight Foundation has graciously offered to provide funding
to improve the public safety communications capability of the
City of Saint Paul. The attached documents show that the
Foundation is willing to contribute over $1. 3 million to the
project.
The following project description has been quoted from the
submitted proposal, an excellent document authored by
Barbara Renshaw of the Police Department.
Project Description
The Saint Paul 911 Emergency Communication Center Project will
accomplish several objectives designed to improve emergency
communications capabilities for the citizens of Saint Paul. It
will provide, first, for the installation of the 911 emergency
telephone system in December, 1982. It will provide for
civilianization of the Police Operator positions in the
Communication Center. Finally, it will provide for the re-
modeling of the Center and the installation of a modi�'ied
Computer Aided Dispatch System.
The project calls for front-end financial participation on the
part of the McKnight Foundation, participation which will abate
over a three-year period to the point where, in the fourth year,
the City of Saint Paul will assume all costs for continued
operation. For example, the McKnight Foundation would begin
paying all costs for Communication Center Operator personnel , who
are currently sworn officers. Then, as attrition occurs (projected
at one officer per month) the City would begin to pick up the
cost until, at the end of 19 months, the personnel cost would
be borne entirely by the City. It is projected that the change
from sworn to civilian operators will save the City of Saint Paul
$172, 000 per year in salary and benefit costs. The change will
also benefit the civilian operators hired in that it wi11 provide
�G
City Council Member.s • Page 2 March 3 , 1982
�8429
them with career options to become Police Community Officers
or Police Officers.
The installation of the 911 System and computer equipment will
provide Operators and Dispatchers with more information than is
presently available. The 911 equipment will include displays
of caller telephone numbers and addresses. Computer equipment
will, among other things, allow Communication Center personnel
to obtain historical information on an address to which equipment
is being dispatched, retrieve recent event data and monitor the
status of squad cars. The new system will minimize delays in
the transfer of informaiton between call answering personnel
and Dispatchers. It will replace some current management reports,
add new ones and eliminate some data entry functions. The final
product will provide more complete, current and accurate
information.
Year One (scheduled as September-December, 1982) of the project
will focus on .the installation of 911 equipment, the remodeling
of the Communication Center and the design of the modified
Computer Aided Dispatch 5ystem. During this period, nine
civilian Operators will be hired to staff the Center. Their
salary and benefit costs will be paid for almost entirely by
the McKnight Foundation.
During Year Two (January-December, 1983) the proportion of salary
and benefit costs paid by the McKnight Foundation will begin to
abate as the City picks up more costs due to attrition of sworn
personnel. Year Two will focus primarily on the installation of
Computer Aided Dispatch equipment. Seventy-five percent of the
recurring costs for the 911 System will be paid for by the
McKnight Foundation during this phase. The balance will be
assumed by the City. The remaining ten civilian Operators will
be hired during this period.
By Year Three (January-December, 1984) all new systems will be
in place and only require routine maintenance. During this phase,
the McKnight Foundation' s participation in the project wi11 begin
to be phased out. In Year Three, the City will have assumed the
salary and benefit costs for all but three Operators and for half
the recurring costs of the computer systems.
In Year Four, the City will assume all remaining costs.
Funding of the project will allow the City to install services
which are mandated by law. The funding of these and other services
at a time when municipalities are being forced, by actions at the
federal and state level , to exercise extreme fiscal restraint
will allow the City to meet its mandate and to actually improve,
rather than reduce, services. It will also a11ow the City to
City Council Members ' Page 3 March 3 , 1982
�8429
hire civilian Operators, a strategy that will save the City a
substantial amount in salary and benefit costs annually.
In addition, the contributed funds will also allow the conversion
of the fire dispatching system from a telephone based line mode
to a radio frequency mode.
A presentation explaining this project will soon be scheduled
before the Council' s Finance and Personnel Committee. At that
time, a resolution providing the General Fund contribution for
1982 will be presented.
I have enclosed a Council Resolution for your consideration. If
adopted, the City will have agreed to accept the grant.
