<br />2. Staffing. The appropriate percentage of the salaries, benefits, and overhead for the staff ./
<br />performing the 911 coordination function, the PSAP management function, and the
<br />emergency services communication function (including call answering, dispatching, call
<br />monitoring, pre-arrival instructions, and administrative call management with any public
<br />safety agencies). As noted above, the percentage of staff costs (if any) associated with
<br />other administrative functions not related to the implementation, management, and
<br />operation of the system of emergency services communications with public safety agencies
<br />(i.e. jail management, courthouse security, etc.) should not be supported with these funds.
<br />If such shared staff are partially funded with these revenues, it is recommended that a
<br />reasonable formula based upon the relative amount oftime spent on emergency services
<br />communications and other duties be determined by the governing body for the allocation of
<br />staff costs. This formula should be documented and consistently applied. Emergency
<br />services communication staff may include:
<br />a. 911 Coordinators
<br />b. PSAP managers, supervisors, & support staff
<br />c. Call-takers & dispatchers
<br />
<br />3. Operation. The appropriate percentage of operational costs associated with the 911
<br />coordination function, the PSAP management function, and the emergency services
<br />communication function (including call answering, dispatching, call monitoring, pre-
<br />arrival instructions, and administrative call management with any public safety agencies).
<br />As discussed with staffing above, operational costs (if any) associated with other
<br />administrative functions not related to the implementation, management, and operation of
<br />the system of emergency services communications with public safety agencies (i.e. jail
