o Budget and Finance Committee: (10 members, two <br />representing each member organization – one from each <br />organization will be the organization’s Finance Director). <br />o Executive Committee: (10 members, two from each <br />organization. One police department and one fire department <br />representative from each of the cities and two members from <br />each county – at least one of whom is a Sheriff’s <br />representative.) <br /> <br />• This following committees report to the Executive Committee: <br />Law Enforcement Operations Committee: (10 members, 2 representatives nominated by each organization’s members of the <br />Executive Committee.) <br />o Fire/EMS Operations Committee: (10 members, 2 <br />representatives nominated by each organization’s members of <br />the Executive Committee.) <br />o Radio Communications Committee: (10 members, 2 <br />representatives nominated by each organization’s members of <br />the Executive Committee.) <br />o Personnel Committee: (10 members, 2 representatives from <br />each organization including the Human Resources Director or <br />designee and a police/fire/sheriff’s office representative.) <br /> <br />• An annual budget will be prepared and submitted to the Authority Board <br />by August 1st of each year. <br /> <br />• Cass County will serve as the Fiscal Agent for the Dispatch Center. <br /> <br />• North Dakota entities and Minnesota entities may enter into separate <br />agreements to finance respective portions of design and construction <br />of a new dispatch center facility.

The current facility is undersized and is in an ill-suited location to provide for the metro area’s long-term public safety dispatching needs. Among the representatives of each organization working most directly on the facility development, it was agreed all member entities should consider adoption of the updated JPA, with an understanding that a separate agreement will be needed for the construction of the new facility when the final design, size and cost of the new facility is completed. Concurrent to drafting and update to the JPA, member entities have been collaborating to masterplan, finance, design and build a new RRRDC facility. That <br />work continues.
