The following are expenses to be approved for the FY25 grant application: • Dell CPUs (2 - $1,980 ea.) $3,960.00 (Quote # 3000177864233.1) • Dell 24” Monitors (16 - $149 ea.) $2,384.00 (Quote # 3000177864233.1) • ENET Server Memory Upgrade (24 - $256.25 ea.) $6,150.00 (Quote # 342225) • SQL Server (2 - $2,560.33 ea.) $5,120.66 (Quote # NVTM865) • Server Switching - $35,285.94 (Quote #339196) • Dispatch chairs for the Ashland site (2 - $2,200 ea.

Item 9: Lumen lack of response and Action regarding the Rice Lake Selective Router and its impact on the transition to ESInet For the transition from Brightspeed to AT&T ESInet to occur, SS7 Trunks (for 9-1-1 call routing) must be created between the Rice Lake selective router and AT&T ESInet. Lumen owns the Rice Lake selective router. Since February of 2024, AT&T has tried to reach out and work with Lumen to create the necessary SS7 trunks but has not received adequate response. The expected transition date originally was April 30th, but it has since been pushed back several times and stalled by Lumen. At this time, AT&T is unable to set a cutover date because Lumen has not been responsive and will not provide a circuit installation date. Brightspeed owns the 9-1-1 lines and Lumen owns the selective router, these two agencies have expressed confusion between each other on how to accomplish the circuit ordering between them. ASHLAND – BAYFIELD CONSOLIDATED PSAP BOARD OF DIRECTORS Bayfield County has reached out to Lumen and received an email response from Sherri Ranger advising them they are making incremental progress, and they will follow-up with Brightspeed to get an updated status.

Motion carried, 5-0. 4. New Director Welcome Jaime Moore was introduced as the new consolidated PSAP Director and given a formal welcome. 5. Discussion regarding dispatcher wages Mark Hill asked permission for dispatchers to give their input on this topic. Fickbohm granted permission. Hill shared that the consolidatfon would bring new training requirements and double the workload. He is concerned that the PSAP would be understaffed. Quaderer shared that dispatch has increased in call volume and will contfnue to increase with the growth of technology, without taking anything away. The Ashland – Bayfield Consolidated PSAP Board of Directors dispatchers would like the board to consider wages and benefits to make sure they are being adequately compensated for the responsibilitfes that contfnue to grow. Other discussions included the fact that dispatch is at the lower end of the responder pay scales. Mental health showed be considered. Dispatching here is not just answering phone calls but also includes dispatching the various responders, animal control, handling calls on road closures, contacts with the towns, warrants, and orders and has increased over the years. Matthias asked the board to remember that dispatchers should be recognized as career professionals. Quaderer suggested that Jaime Moore works with Rance Duffy to determine natfonwide what is comparable for wages and benefit packages. She also recommends the board do a wage study for similar two-county PSAPs. Mark Abeles-Allison asks that updates to the wage and benefit chart be given. 6. Discussion and Possible Actfon regarding the FY25 PSAP Grant Applicatfon Quaderer reported that the PSAP Grant Notfce of Funding Opportunity was included in the packet and the suggestfons of what to apply for are in the narratfve. She would work with Jaime Moore to apply for this grant. There is a 90%/10% match with this grant. Right now, the applicatfon total would be $67,306.02. Larry Fickbohm left the meeting at 1:32pm. Ron Sztyndor continued as Chair. Moore and Quaderer will discuss what qualifies with Goudos-Weisbecker and Galetka. Motion by Williams, seconded by Grady to move forward with applying for the grant. Motion carried, 4-0. 7. Grant Budget Update The current software does not integrate with CAD so the EMD software will need to be updated. The EMD Software quote was more than what is needed and has decreased. Quaderer suggests going with an RFP for next year with the new CAD while expanding Ashland County’s positfons to use for now. The rest of the budget is doing well. It would be better to purchase the large tv’s now. 8. Workgroup Reports: • IT Workgroup: Houck reported that dispatch has moved into the EOC. The electrical has been removed and new lighting is in. The circuit has been put in at Ashland County to begin tying in. The new window in the director’s office is cut out. Weekly meetings with Callworks and ESInet. Lumen and Brightspeed are currently the hangup. The reroute from Ashland to Bayfield will be determined by the phone Ashland – Bayfield Consolidated PSAP Board of Directors companies four to eight weeks out. The timeline is tentatively the last week of August or first week of September. • GIS Workgroup: Goudos-Weisbecker reported that the workgroup has been meeting every two weeks. They have been working individually to get the data ready in GeoCom for ESInet. The goal is to meet with Motorola in two weeks for hardware and software quotes and timelines. Both counties are working in the GIS grants for FY25. There will be an influx of work for the first two years with the new Motorola map. • Operations Workgroup: Quaderer shared that the workgroup had two good meetings with outside agencies. They worked well together and worked on policies. Hill and Larson shared on the amount of work it has been consolidating, reviewing, and updating materials and policies. The hope is to slowly start implementing new policies in both counties. • HR Workgroup: Kavajecz stated that the probable effective date for the actual transition of staff for payroll will be January 1st for benefits. Ashland County employees will continue being Ashland County employees while co-locating until the new year. 9. Updated Timeline The goal is to be consolidated between September and October, with no later than the end of the year. 10. Innovatfon grant discussion Grady is researching this grant opportunity to see if the consolidated PSAP would qualify. The rules will probably not be in place untfl the end of the year. 11.
