Consider Formation of Committee to Explore the Feasibility of a Joint Perry Police and Fire Dispatch

Trustee Capaldi stated the following in regard to the memorandum that was received from the Fire Chief and discussions that have been had with the Police Chief.  Very rarely do we ever have a disagreement.  We generally agree on many things.  This is a very complex issue and it becomes especially difficult when jobs are at stake.

Trustee Capaldi stated that the main issue of why this was brought up in discussion was because Chief Pomesky had concerns regarding the radio coverage for the safety of our officers as well as using officers to dispatch rather than being out on the streets.  Trustee Capaldi recommended that Chief Pomesky immediately look into heightening the antenna by either using the Fire Department tower and/ or the Aqua Ohio tower to correct the coverage issues in Perry Township.

Trustee Capaldi stated that the number of full-time equivalence for a twenty-four (24) hour operation is 4.7 to 5.2 employees.  Currently, the Township has four (4) full-time dispatchers and one (1) part-time dispatcher.  Trustee Capaldi recommended the immediate exploration of part-time employees to cover vacation/sick/ comp time.  Trustee Capaldi stated that other organizations that dispatch use a pool of part-timers and believes this will help alleviate using officers for dispatch.  These issues can be and should be immediately addressed.

Trustee Capaldi stated that the more complex issue is dispatching and communications for Perry Township services; Road, Fire and Police.  If and when a county-wide system becomes available there will be another service option to consider.  That day is not here yet.  A regional county-wide dispatch center run through SCOG (Stark Council of Governments) does not currently exist.  Entities all over the county dispatch both police and fire and have long range radio and other communication issues that exist.  This is a common issue within Perry Township.

Trustee Capaldi made a motion that the Board form a voluntary, exploratory committee, the purpose of which is to explore these options for long range communication issues.  The purpose of the committee will be to perform a needs assessment for the current system for the Fire Department, Police Department and also consider the future radio and communication needs of the Road Department.  Basically, there would be a needs assessment and an analysis of the current system and to explore options available whether they be in source (here in the Township) or outsource.  The committee would be an advisory committee to the Board of Trustees and would be a voluntary committee.  And again, this committee is to explore options not to make recommendations.  The Board would then take those options, run it through the Department Heads and then the Board will come up with a decision based on those options.  The make up of the committee would be; Three (3) members from the Perry Township Police Department as outlined in the memorandum, three (3) members from the Perry Township Fire Department as outlined in the memorandum, one (1) member from the dispatch union changed slightly from the memorandum and then the Road Department members as needed.  Trustee Capaldi suggested that Trustee Chessler serve as the Chairman due to his knowledge and experience with SCOG.  The designee of the Township is up for further discussion; Seconded by Trustee Laubacher.

Trustee Chessler stated that back in September the Police Chief came to the Board and identified needs as far as coverage issues, staffing issues, equipment issues and he sent to the task of within his department of coming up with a proposal to meet the needs.  Chief Pomesky had some discussions with the Board and prepared a proposal.  That was something that Chief Pomesky asked the Board to move forward on.  Trustee Chessler stated that he is unaware of the origins of the idea to create a committee but then in November a memorandum circulated from the Fire Chief to the Officials of the Township proposing the idea of a committee.  This in many ways contradicted what the Police Department was doing at the time and was objected to by the Police Department at the time.  Trustee Chessler suggested that the Police Chief and Deputy Chief weigh in on their thoughts because this primarily has to do with their department.  Trustee Chessler stated that he is not opposed to volunteering to be on this committee but he was noticing the composition of the committee as it was proposed before and thinks that the composition predetermines the result.  Trustee Chessler stated that he has objections to the composition of the committee as it was formed and the Board should have a unanimous agreement if they are going to look to these people for their knowledge and their experience and take into account that they may come into this process with a biased interest that would affect their involvement.       

Trustee Laubacher stated that in the future Chief Martin is going to be faced with the same issues as Chief Pomesky in regards to the radios.  The idea is to potentially solve both problems at the same time.  Trustee Chessler stated that he is not in favor of the composition but he would like to have further discussion on who the appropriate people are and the number because once it gets to be so large it gets unwieldy.

Trustee Capaldi stated that each individual brings a different perspective to the table.  Everyone has their own personal bias based on their experience.  When you bring a group together of different people or different perspectives you get a richer result.  In addition to that, the committee is only exploring options and the options will be lined up and presented to the Board and Department Heads to make a recommendation from.  Trustee Capaldi stated that if the committee were making the recommendations then she would agree with Trustee Chessler but what they are doing is exploring options as a group.  Trustee Chessler inquired what the result of their work would be.  Trustee Capaldi stated that they would provide the Board with options available for a Township solution to the radio and communication issues.  Trustee Chessler inquired what the proposed time line is in regards to the committee’s organization, deliberation and to come up with a product.  Trustee Capaldi stated that the scope and time line could be set after the first meeting of the committee.  Trustee Chessler suggested that the Board hear Chief Pomesky and Deputy Chief Carbenia on this matter.

Chief Pomesky stated that he distributed information to the Board.  As the Police Department progressed through the process of evaluating the internal needs in regards to the radio system, staffing and all of the issues that are presenting themselves several options have been outlined.  Chief Pomesky stated that he feels that he has presented adequate options but if the Board decides to form the committee they are well within the discretion to do so.  However, Chief Pomesky stated that he will need direction from the Board if they want him to prepare a purchase proposal to immediately remedy the situation as the radio coverage stands right now.  Chief Pomesky stated that his concern is by spending that money now, if the committee comes together later and has a different direction the money has already been spent to remedy the coverages.  Trustee Capaldi inquired if this is something that should have already been addressed in past years.  Chief Pomesky stated that he believed so.  Trustee Capaldi stated that the Township wouldn’t be spending anything that they wouldn’t have already spent.  Chief Pomesky stated that his concern is if the direction shifts after ninety (90) days and the money is already spent.  Trustee Capaldi stated that the committee isn’t addressing this issue.  This is to remedy immediate needs.  Trustee Chessler inquired if they were talking about the immediate need to assess and address the radio tower issues and the staffing issues.  Trustee Capaldi stated that was correct but the Board was not giving Chief Pomesky direction to do it.  The Board just wants Chief Pomesky to bring back the quotes so that they can review the numbers.  Trustee Capaldi stated that they are not big numbers from what she has seen. 

Trustee Capaldi stated that she discussed her proposal with both Chief’s prior to the meeting to make sure that all concerns were addressed.  The Fire Department wants to install a repeater, so while the Police Department is putting something on the water tower maybe the Fire Department can put something on the water tower also.  If everybody knows then you only have to pay one guy to go up one time.

Chief Pomesky stated that as far as numbers, he did receive adequate pricing for the repeater to be placed.  Trustee Capaldi stated that Chief Pomesky needs to speak with the Fire Department regarding the repeater and that can be done at a different time.  Trustee Laubacher stated that Chief Pomesky’s radio assessment is to go to the 800 band and to get rid of the radios that the Police Department currently has.  CanCom is saying that if you are going to switch to the 800 system then you have five (5) months to do so.  Trustee Chessler stated that he didn’t know if that was an accurate statement.  Trustee Laubacher stated that several Police Department’s from other entities are using 800 numbers and they have been told that they have until July or June to be dispatched from CanCom.  Trustee Chessler stated that he knows because he has heard with his own ears in the meetings and that has not yet been decided.  Trustee Chessler stated that he is familiar with that issue and it is not an absolute requirement that the agencies coming on have to use the 800 radios.  Trustee Laubacher clarified and said that if the agencies are using 800 radios that you have to be dispatched from CanCom because the Police Department’s from other entities have been told this.  Trustee Chessler stated that the agencies at the Red Center were given the 800 radios and they are being told now that they have to pay for them because CanCom is charging other entities for the services that they provide and if you want to stay on there then you are going to have to pay for the radio service like everyone else.  If you don’t want to use the 800 radios anymore then you don’t have to.

Trustee Chessler stated that he is not objecting to the proposal of a committee unless he hears from the Police Department that this is not going to solve their needs.  Chief Pomesky stated that he feels that his proposal would adequately address the Police Department’s issues.  Projection costs for each aspect were provided and the leadership within the department has provided interoffice communications expressing their position on this matter.  Chief Pomesky stated that it would be up to the Board if they feel that it is necessary to form a committee.

Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that he doesn’t think that it is a good use of their money and time to go out and spend on that and hiring additional employees if there is even a possibility if the Board decides on a committee that the money no longer be necessary.  In granting, it is a small amount but still at minimum it’s $13,000.00.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that he wasn’t sure if that would be a wise use of money.  Trustee Capaldi stated that would be for the Board to decide once the research is brought back to them.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that he doesn’t feel that the committee is necessary because he and Chief Pomesky have already spent a great amount of time doing the research and finding out what the options are.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that they already started to meet with Chief Martin and Deputy Chief Abbott and they can continue to go down that road to see if there is something that they want to add to the proposal to bring it up to their aspects.  That would be completely suitable.    Trustee Capaldi stated that the work and proposal from the Police Department will not go to waste but it will be incorporated into the work of the committee.

Trustee Laubacher inquired what the $13,000.00 encompasses.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that it encompasses taking and putting the repeater on a tower.  It would include all aspects of Staley’s and creates the ability for the Police Department to transmit to that repeater on the tower and then from the tower to the officer.  Trustee Laubacher inquired if the tower is located on Nave Road.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that the tower on Nave Road is the tower that was recommended.  Trustee Laubacher inquired if anybody has looked at a propagation study with regard to where the antenna would be best placed.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that he didn’t believe there was a specific propagation study to this but Staley’s has made a recommendation and they know pretty much everything in the County.  Trustee Laubacher inquired if the $70,000.00 is for the new digital radio.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that it is for the digital radio system and dispatch console.  Trustee Capaldi stated that is part of the bigger issue but spending $13,000.00 to ensure safety of officers immediately seems like a pretty good investment.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that is correct and that it should have been done years ago but he is not sure it is a wise investment.  Trustee Capaldi stated that she doesn’t believe that the changes are necessarily in the short term especially considering county-wide and where that is going. 

Trustee Chessler inquired if there is enough of an understanding of the coverage issue to say that there is a short term solution that will address the problems of our officers being able to send and receive transmissions from all areas of the Township.  Deputy Chief Carbenia stated that there is more than one short term solution available whether it is through StarCom or CanCom on an 800 system.  Trustee Capaldi stated that as expressed in her motion that is not something that she is ready to accept right now.  The rest of the Board can speak through the vote on whether or not they want to consider any of those options.  Trustee Capaldi stated that she would like to see a Township wide solution that is a little bit more in depth.  If it rolls out that one of those is the choices then we will have to address that at that time.

Trustee Chessler inquired if it has been explored enough to know that there won’t be a surprise at the end of this assessment that says we thought we could do it for a small amount of money but it’s going to cost a ton of money or what we thought would be effective to solve this coverage issue won’t be effective at all.  Trustee Capaldi stated that from what the Board is hearing is that raising the height though it won’t increase coverage to the fullest extent that the Township would like, it is still going to increase coverage more than what it is right now which is an immediate need.

Trustee Chessler stated that the other component of this is the staffing issue and the discussion is to keep this to part-time.  Once the Board agrees to take people on as employees under any circumstance is always a difficult thing if you decide to go in a different direction.  Trustee Chessler stated that he does not take lightly to the idea of an interim or temporary measure to take on people and say you’re an employee of the Township but in a year we might go in a different direction and we are going to tell you up front that we are sorry.  Trustee Capaldi stated that there may be people that are part-time at other dispatch centers that would take that deal.  Those are the things that would be explored through that process and maybe for the short term the Chief is okay with using officers until the Township gets through the committee.  Trustee Capaldi stated that maybe the Township can pick up some part-time employees that might help alleviate some of that.  Trustee Chessler stated that he knows that there has been some resistance and quite strong objections to seeing patrol officers sitting at the dispatch console.

Mr. Hall stated that he wanted to remind the Board that they are in a period of collective bargaining with the dispatchers union.  Mr. Hall stated that he has gotten a report that he needs to discuss with the Board later in executive session and that is one of the issues that is on the bargaining table that has to be negotiated.  Trustee Chessler inquired what Mr. Hall was referring to.  Mr. Hall stated the issue of using part-time people or additional part-time people in dispatch.  Trustee Capaldi stated that the Police Department has had more than one part-timer before.  Mr. Hall reminded the Board that from the memorandum that he sent that undermining the union is an issue that has been raised by the bargaining unit at the first session.  There has only been one very brief meeting but it is an issue that Mr. Hall needs to discuss with the Board in executive session so that a strategy can be developed to approach that.  Trustee Laubacher inquired what that meant.  Trustee Chessler stated that it is in regards to avoiding hiring full-time people by hiring part-time people.  Mr. Hall stated that if you are full-time you are automatically in the union but if you are part-time you probably are not in the union and that has to be clarified under the contract.  Mr. Hall stated that under past contracts and past administration that was never a problem.  It was never grieved and it was never brought as an issue.  Mr. Hall stated that it is now an issue that has been brought by the union.

Trustee Capaldi stated that there are two (2) recommendations and a motion on the floor that has been seconded.  Trustee Capaldi suggested opening the floor to public speaks.  Trustee Chessler stated that he has a much more clear understanding of the proposal.  Hearing what the Law Director has to say and knowing that there is no certainty in what the committee is going to find.  Trustee Chessler stated that he could render support to the idea if he knew that there was some kind of conditions in place.  Trustee Capaldi stated that those types of things will be outlined at the very first committee meeting.  The Township can work through the department’s management to select the committee members and if Trustee Chessler accepts the Chairman position then the scope, outline, timeline and sifting through those big issues can be done at the beginning.

Trustee Capaldi thanked everyone for their patience and opened the floor for public speaks for anyone wishing to address the Board.

Public Speaks

Tim Cecil- 4411 Dupont.  Mr. Cecil stated that he is in support of the committee.  Mr. Cecil stated that he does not understand the hurry on trying to get rid of Township services.  The Township has complained about annexation but is now willing to pass along services to the City of Canton.  There are jobs on the line.  Mr. Cecil stated that he would like to see a joint dispatch system as he worked under a similar system in South Carolina.  Mr. Cecil stated that he does not know if a joint system is economically feasible but asked that the committee have an opportunity to look into it.

Bard Huntsman- 4025 Prosway.  Mr. Huntsman stated that an un-biased member of the community should be offered the opportunity to sit on the committee.

Tracy Schlup- 1132 Delverne SW.  Ms. Schlup stated that she supports the idea of the committee and expressed the importance of working together to come up with a solution.  Ms. Schlup stated that she would like to see dispatch stay in Perry Township.  Ms. Schlup agreed with the idea that the voting public should have a say as well.

Matt Gatchell- 629 Kolpwood.  Mr. Gatchell stated that he is speaking as a representative of the Firefighters Union (Local 3960) and as a resident of Perry Township.  Mr. Gatchell read an email that he sent to the Board to express the opinion of the Local 3960.  The Local 3960 supports the idea of the proposal of a committee.  Mr. Gatchell stated that he does not feel that Trustee Chessler should be the Chairperson due to the fact that he sits on the SCOG Board for the Regional Dispatch Committee and feels that a third party with no involvement in dispatch would serve as the best Chairman.

Trustee Capaldi read a letter of support that the Board received from the Patrolmen’s Union (FOP).

Frank Anania- 4061 Knolls Ave. SW.  Mr. Anania stated that he feels that even if it costs more the Township should keep the dispatchers in house.  Mr. Anania stated that he would rather spend a few extra dollars for quality dispatch to reassure that the officers and firefighters are safe.

John Randolph- 1216 Stratford Ave. NW.  Mr. Randolph stated that he thinks that the most important issue is the safety of the Perry Township safety forces and the community.  Mr. Randolph stated that he wants the dispatchers to stay in house within the community.

Angela Oliver- 4453 2nd Street.  Ms. Oliver stated that she sent the Board an email to support the proposal of a committee.  Ms. Oliver stated that the residents of Perry Township support their safety services and have not turned down a police levy.  Ms. Oliver inquired why the radio issues had not been taken care of already.  Trustee Capaldi stated that the first she heard of the radio issues is when Chief Pomesky brought it to the Board’s attention approximately a month ago.  Ms. Oliver stated that something needs to be done so that practices like this do not continue.  Ms. Oliver inquired if the committee will bring updates to the Board during public meetings so that the community can share their thoughts.  Trustee Capaldi stated that she was going to suggest that the members of the community write their contact information down so that when a related item is on the agenda those individuals could be contacted.  Ms. Oliver thanked the Board.

Miranda Goldsmith- 3844 Clark Street.  Ms. Goldsmith stated that she supports the proposal of a committee.  Ms. Goldsmith addressed the radio and staffing issues. 

Trustee Capaldi stated that a motion has been made and seconded and inquired if there was any additional discussion by the Board.  Trustee Laubacher inquired if Chief Pomesky and Deputy Chief Carbenia should automatically go ahead and get the antenna up.  Trustee Capaldi stated that Chief Pomesky and Deputy Chief Carbenia should bring this issue back to the Board for a vote.  Trustee Chessler stated that the committee will be exploring options but all options come with a price tag.  Trustee Chessler suggested that it would be beneficial for the Fiscal Officer to be involved in the committee as needed to review and assess these options in terms of their affect on the budget.

Trustee Laubacher stated that he is not in favor of a police officer sitting in for dispatch and would like Chief Pomesky to look into hiring one (1) or two (2) part-time dispatchers.  Trustee Capaldi stated that it would have to be with the understanding of bargaining issues.  Mr. Hall requested that the Board hold those comments until after he has the opportunity to speak with them in executive session.
