Mapping Proposal - Kross
told the Board that the CAD vendors
for both DeKalb and DeKalb County, will not work with any mapping companies
other than the ones that they partner with, and neither of those are amongst the
mapping vendors the Board is considering. He said that the Board could go ahead
with a mapping proposal and both DeKalb and DeKalb County Sheriff's Police
Telecommunicator's would have to enter the call information into the CAD
manually. It would not affect Sandwich or NIU PSAPs. Another option would be
to buy the additional CAD mapping from the CAD vendors, as well as the mapping
vendor the Board contracts with. An additonal option would be to purchase the
CAD vendor's mapping for DeKalb and DeKalb County Sheriff's Police, and separate
mapping from a Board selected vendor. The latter two options were discarded due
to the confusion with multiple vendors, as well as the additional cost.
Newby was asked his opinion. He said that he had not originally expected
the 911 mapping to interface with their CAD, so he would be satisfied with the
first option. Tillman said that he did not like any of the three
options. He was not in favor of the Telecommunicators having to enter the 911
mapping info into the CAD. The Chairman asked Pettit, Newby, Tillman,
and Kross to meet with the technical people from the University, DeKalb County
IMO, and the City of DeKalb to pose any technical questions they may have, to
Verizon. They should try to report at the next regular board meeting.
