Comm. Minutes--May 2, 1994 1205 Mr. Ness said the transfer of 911 dispatch calls to the City of Fargo has been delayed until July 12, 1994, due to the anticipated move of the City of Fargo dispatch service to new quarters and ongoing training of two recently hired dispatchers. Mr. Wieland reported that the Joint Dispatch Council, consisting of representatives from the Cities of Fargo and West Fargo and Cass County Government met last week with the technical committee, who will present a tentative plan for joint dispatch services, with monthly updates on their progress. Mr. Montplaisir asked Commissioners to begin thinking about the purchase of one additional election scanner because the City of Fargo has indicated they may be interested in paying half of the cost of a new scanner. The city budgeted money for a run-off election this year but did not need to conduct a run-off election for the mayor's race. Commissioners were in agreement that Mr. Montplaisir continue to pursue the purchase on a cost-share basis with the City of Fargo. Mr. Risher informed Commissioners he is sending a letter to Senator Byron Dorgan encouraging support of Senate Bill 1822, known as the Communications Act of 1994. 19.
