Sherbrook passed unanimously.
Members Recommendations: Members made the following recommendations to City
Council.
1. To study the feasibility of the reorganization and transition of the current dispatch
system with the goal of transitioning the current system to a backup system for the
County with the County having the primary responsibility for radio dispatching Sebastian
Police in response to 911 calls. Revisit the justification in determining the ratio or
number of officers required per population
2. Reserve Fund Balance in event of natural disasters, etc. Reserving a portion of the
fund balance for Natural Disaster emergency purposes will, in effect, put the money aside
for a specific purpose. In other words, it cannot be spent and/or appropriated for any
other purpose other than what it was reserved for or unless designated by Council
resolution.
3. Proposed Centralized Information System Study - The results of such a recommended
study would determine the economic feasibility and potential operational efficiencies of a
centralized information system specialist approach. Future growth of city wide services
to support an expanding population and housing buildout will over time cause a more
intensive and sophisticated application of continually updated data processing
technologies.
Input from the Public - None
Motion to adjourn at 7:20 PM was made by Herbert Munsart second by Gene Rauth.
