Dispatch director outlines Shelby Township cost-share for new 911 call‑handling system

At a meeting of the Macomb County Records and Public Safety Committee, the county’s dispatch director, identified in the public record as Elsie, asked the committee to approve a cost‑sharing agreement formalizing Shelby Township’s contribution to the county’s new 911 call‑handling solution.

"I'm here today to request approval of a cost sharing agreement between Shelby Township and the Macomb County Sheriff's Office for the implementation of our new 911 call handling solution," Dispatch Director Elsie said. Under the agreement described on the record, Shelby Township’s contribution was listed as a one‑time nonrecurring cost of $125,891 and an annual recurring cost of $104,045; the presenter stated a total contribution of $646,116 during the item.

The transcript record does not reconcile the arithmetic: the presented one‑time and three years of recurring amounts do not sum to the stated total on the record. County staff said the county will handle vendor invoicing and subsequently bill Shelby Township as specified in the proposed agreement. Commissioner Hall asked whether Shelby Township was aware of the cost; staff replied that the township had already approved it.

Commissioner Hall moved to recommend the agreement to the full board; the motion was supported. The transcript excerpt does not include a roll call tally for this recommendation in the provided text.

Ending: The committee advanced the cost‑share agreement to the next step for full‑board consideration; the transcript does not contain a recorded committee vote tally in the excerpt provided and staff follow-up on the written agreement and totals is indicated.
