B
Father
god,
we
come
before
you
right
now
and
just
pause
for
a
second
lifting
up
the
doughty
family
and
they're
lost
this
week
and
father.
It
seems
like
we're
going
through
a
crazy
time
in
our
area
again,
and
I
would
just
pray
for
your
wisdom,
your
healing
hand
and
your
gift
to
be
upon
those
who
are
in
charge
give
us
the
wisdom
that
we
need
to
have
to
make
the
right
decisions,
the
ones
that
you
would
bless,
give
us
a
decision.
B
A
A
Is
there
any
does
anybody
you
guys
anybody
want
to
add
anything
from
the
council
is
craig.
You
want
to
add
anything.
Okay,
see
no
comments,
move
the
public
comments,
we'll
move
the
public
comments.
We
allow
three
minutes
per
speaker.
Three
speakers
per
topic.
Three,
three
pro
three
con.
Can
we
ever
first
speaker,
please.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
county
council,
ac,
dinoff,
county
resident
and
public
advocate
first
thing
I
want
to
lead
off
with.
Is
I've
been
here
asking
for
a
special
prosecutor
to
investigate
illegal
wrongdoings,
alleged
illegal
wrongdoings
at
the
community
college
district
board
of
trustees
in
the
appointment
of
the
prosecuting
attorney's
mother
to
that
position,
the
county
executive's
wife
serves
on
that
board
of
trustees.
There's
many
conflicts
of
interest.
F
I
have
not
heard
iota
from
that
county
executive,
nothing
from
the
director
of
administration,
nothing
from
the
county
prosecutor's
office,
nor
the
county,
counselor's
office.
Shame
on
this
county
when
we
have
bad
deals
and
bad
going
on
it's
time
that
we
investigate
ourselves.
You
know
if
it
comes
down
to
a
court
case.
I
guess
we'll
be
back
in
circuit
court,
arguing
it
out
and
see
if
a
judge
will
appoint
a
special
prosecutor,
but
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
why
we
can't
police
ourselves,
investigate
wrongdoings
and
come
to
some
type
of
conclusion.
F
F
This
was
split
many
years
ago
and
the
question
is:
is
the
historical
background?
It
was
split
many
years
ago
between
police
on
the
one
side,
law
enforcement
and
alarm
dispatch,
otherwise
known
as
fire,
rescue
and
ambulance.
So
in
the
ordinance,
there's
two
dates
of
confusion,
one
states
september
first
and
another
states
january
1st.
So
that's
of
some
type
of
confusion
in
the
transfer
of
employees
and
the
establishment
of
the
department.
F
But
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
county
executive
staff
in
reference
to
historical
information,
there
was
nothing
in
the
county
council
packet
that
talked
about
historical
information
as
most
things
in
county
government.
It's
a
big
secret,
never
talked
about
in
public,
never
debated
or
never
talked
at
the
committee
level,
which
we
don't
have
that
structure,
but
it
seems
like
one
secret
after
another
comes
up
to
this
kind
of
council
agenda.
F
So
I'd
like
to
know
why
the
split
years
ago,
why
we
need
to
join
them
back
today
with
the
historical
background
and
why
the
cost
to
do
the
merging
the
benefits
associated
with
either
merging
these
departments
or
not
merging
them,
and
why
not
look
into
a
county-wide
system
of
trying
to
eliminate
our
seven
psaps
public
safety
answering
points
down
to
one
or
two
one
for
east
and
west
part
of
the
county?
Let's
save
a
lot
of
taxpayer
dollar
monies
in
the
long
run.
F
Also,
a
contention
is
a
lieutenant's
position
and
a
possible
sergeant's
position
in
the
communication
division
of
the
sheriff's
police
department
and
I'd
like
to
know
why
those
positions
are
going
to
remain
or
if
they're
going
to
be
cut
and
if
that's
persons
can
be
put
on
the
road
serving
the
people.
The
neighborhoods.
Thank
you.
Okay,.

D
E
You
got
any
questions
or
comments
mike
yeah,
the
I
mean,
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project,
it's
one
that
that
I've
been
working
on
for
for
a
long
time
and
it's
a
it's
a
prime
example
of
cooperation
between
the
city,
county
and
and
the
state
of
missouri.
Of
course,
I
do
want
to
mention
that
john
gretzky
has
been
instrumental
in
getting
this
project
to
the
point
that
it
is
now.
E
That
makes
a
lot
more
sense
and
it
will
allow
for
not
only
for
the
traveling
public
to
alleviate
some
safety
concerns
of
of
how
fifth
street
backs
up
or
the
ramps
getting
off
of
70
back
up,
but
it
also
there's
a
economic
development
component
of
this
that
the
city
of
saint,
charles
and
and
st
charles
county
will
certainly
benefit
from
there's
a
lot
of
ground.
Now
that
we'll
we'll
have
much
better
access
and-
and
I
believe,
we'll
we'll
see-
development
happen
there.
So
I'm
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
John.
E
H
Well,
the
next
stage
the
reason
for
having
this
off
cycle
to
start
with,
I
apologize
for
the
the
late
substitution
and
the
contract
amendment
mod
literally
in
the
last
few
hours
of
the
day
dropped
this
on
us
saying
that
there
are
some
small
word
changes
that
you
get.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I
can
go
more
detail
on
that,
but
the
contract
itself
is
pretty
much
fundamentally
the
same
as
the
first
reading.
H
Next
step
is
getting
this
on
the
state,
transportation,
improvement
program
and,
as
everybody's
aware
modot
is,
you
know,
broke,
and
so
they
have
a
state
program
that
they're
not
adding
to
the
reason
they're
willing
to
do.
This
is
because
the
county
and
the
city
have
secured
money
for
the
product
as
well
as
pledged
as
quite
a
bit
of
its
own
money.
So
this
project
needs
to
be
added
to
that
step,
and
in
order
to
do
so,
they
need
a
city
and
the
county
both
to
execute
this
agreement
and
have
it
to
them
by
august
14th.
H
Once
it's
added
to
the
step,
they'll
give
modot
the
ability
to
advertise
the
project,
and
that
goal
is
to
get
it
advertised
in
january
of
16
and
for
the
project
then
to
go
quickly
into
constructions
potentially
starting
in
march,
and
to
have
it
all
these
improvements
open
to
the
public
before
the
holiday
thanksgiving
black
friday
rush.
Now
that
doesn't
mean
the
project
will
be
done.
It
means
it'll,
be
open
to
the
public.
There'll
still
be
orange.
Barrels
there'll
still
be
work
to
be
done,
but
at
least
the
majority
of
the
work
will
be
done.
E
H
H
H
H
People
and
we're
also
the
city
of
st
charles
david
leisure
and
their
economic
development
staff
has
been
instrumental
in
moving
this
project
forward.
They
have
obviously
had
those
relationships
with
the
businesses
that
are
are
providing
ground,
so
they've
been
instrumental
in
keeping
this
project
going
forward.
Fantastic,
looking
forward.
I
I
got
a
question
john,
the
financial
split.
In
this
thing
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
it
and
I
went
over
the
numbers
we'll
found
it's
a
similar
type
of
outer
road
project
to
fallon,
but
this
one's
costing
us
a
bunch
more
money,
it's
10
million
dollars
out
of
county
money
for
starters,
and
then
you
got
another
3.8
of
our
cmaq
money,
where
I
think
an
old
fallon
will
use
their
cmaq
money.
I
So
essentially
you
know
this
is
like
a
14
million
dollar
hit
to
county
of
18
million,
and
I'm,
I
guess
my
question
to
you
is:
why
is
this
one
cost
this
one's
a
smidge
bigger,
I
think
than
o'fallon's?
But
why
is
this
this
percentage
that
we're
paying
on
this
one
so
much
higher
than
what
o'fallon's
is.
H
And
that's
that's
a
great
question.
The
the
county's
dollar
amount
on
this
agreement
is
10
million.
It's
an
18
million
dollar
project,
this
10
million.
We
didn't
have
that
money
sitting
in
our
existing
tip.
So
if
you
go
back
to
our
tip
document
that
was
approved
last
year,
we
did
not
have
2
million
for
this
project.
H
What
we
did
have
programmed
was
money
for
projects
within
the
city
of
st
charles
and
what
they
have
determined
is
that
this
is
their
priority,
and
so
they
are
turning
back
money
that
was
approved
by
the
road
board
and
that
we
have
existing
contracts.
So
what
we'll
see
and-
and
the
follow-up
to
mike's
question
is
that
one
of
the
next
steps
will
be
termination
agreements
with
the
city
so
where
they'll
be
terminating
projects,
that
they
have
freeing
up
this
money.

D
Number
4253
request
by
dave
todd
sponsored
by
council
as
a
whole,
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
county
executive
to
execute
two
agreements
on
behalf
of
the
police
department,
one
with
the
saint
charles
county
ambulance,
district
sccad
for

and
two.

to
receive
payments

A
G
So
that
is,
we
you've
previously
approved
an
agreement
for
cattleville,
which
has
its
own
medics,
including
chief
wiley,
who's,
been
a
volunteer
medic
for
a
number
of
years,
and
then
this
is
for
the
county
ambulance
service
and
then
the
other
memorandum
of
understanding
is
is
that
there
is
a
missouri
identity
theft
task
force
in
the
region
and
sometimes
they're
willing
to
pay
our
officers
overtime
to
work
on
issues
that
they've
got
and
so
they'll
reimburse
us
for
overtime
for
us,
assisting
with
identity
theft,
issues.
Okay,.

A
J
J
The
ul
does
exclude
county
council
members,
so
I
think
you
would
mention
you
may
want
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
rest
of
the
council,
but
right
now
would
be
our
intention
for
any
employee,
including
elected
officials
like
the
sheriff
behind
me,
though
he
doesn't
need
once
he's
got
a
name
badge
on
anyway,
county
assessor
others
who
are
in
our
facilities
every
single
day
to
wear
an
id
badge.
It's
certainly
up
to
you
all.
If
you
want
to
participate
in
that
with
us
or
not,.
A
J
A
I
I
don't
think
we
need
one
here,
but
there
are
times
when
I
wouldn't
mind
having
one
example
in
my
district
I
was
climbing
underneath
culverts
and
highway
p,
looking
how
bad
they
were
plugged
up
a
little
bit
ago,
and
I
was
wondering
who's
going
to
come
down
the
hills,
wonder
what
the
heck
I
was
doing.
Well,
I
did.
I
A
J
Yeah,
I
think
our
main
purpose
from
the
id
badge
is
really
taking
the
first
step
on
some
increased
building
security.
So,
right
now
you
know
you
can
walk
into
the
administration
building
and
you'd
really
be
able
to
wander
almost
anywhere
in
the
facility.
With
the
exception
of
the
data
centers
potentially
being
unquestioned,
you
know
we
do
have
a
lot
of
staff
turnover.
J
We
use
the
example
of
the
is
department
when
we're
thinking
about
computer
security
and
network
security
as
well
of
making
sure
an
employee
locks
that
computer
terminal,
when
they
walk
away,
did
some
new
tech
who
just
started
with
the
county
last
week,
walk
up
and
say.
Well,
I
need
to
help
you
fix
your
computer.
Let
me
just
sit
down
at
your
desktop
there
and
log
into
the
network.
J
A
The
only
question
I
would
have
like
scott:
do
you
do
all
your
employees
wear
name
badges
all
of
them.
We
already
do
okay,
so
I
think
it's
only
fair
to
ask
the
elected
officials
that
run
their
departments
if
they
prefer
that,
because
they're
elected
to
run
those
departments
but
chances
are,
they
would
probably
agree
with
it.
J
J
If
it's
written
into
the
pap
that
they
were
to
have
to
do
something,
then
yes,
but
like
I
said
we
aren't,
writing
the
actual
id
policy
into
the
pap,
because
it's
hugely
administrative
in
nature
that
level
of
detail
sitting
within
a
codified
ordinance
would
be
very
odd
and
not
standard
for
how
we
handle
the
personnel
administration
plan.
So
we
can
write
into
that
policy.
Exclusions
related
to
that
should
an
elected
official
desire
not
to
have
to
follow
that
personally
himself.
A
E
E
Yeah
I
mean
a
lanyard
or
a
badge
or
whatever
to
me.
It's
no
big
deal.
I
I
I
very
seldom
go
down
to
the
administration
building,
but
when
I
do
I
you
know
it's
it.
I
think
it
would
some
of
the
places
I
go.
I
probably
should
be
challenged.
I
mean
walking
into
the
highway
department.
Those
guys
don't
know
me,
and
you
know
personally.
E
A
G
It
the
way
it
is-
and
I
don't
think,
for
instance,
you're
going
to
have
issues
like
mr
christmas
department,
because
I
can't
think
of
a
time.
I've
ever
been
out
there,
which
has
been
frequently
that
his
employees
aren't
already
wearing
badges
he.
He
has
probably
one
of
the
highest
degrees
of
security
man
mandated
on
him
after
the
bush
gore
election
of
any
department,
with
any
kind
of
a
federal
requirement
on
him.
G
D
I
I
Okay,
what
are
expected
revenues
coming
in
from
those
users
are
going
to
be
what
our
expected
expenditures
could
be,
and
you
know
these
organizational
changes
that
you're
making
and
then
I'd
like
a
little
bit
of
update
on
if
we're
going
to
build
a
different
building
for
this.
For
some
of
these
functions
a
little
bit
updated
where
we're
at
that.
So
if
it's
possible
to
have
a
work
session
prior
to
voting
on
this
bill,
I've
got
a
lot
of
questions
if
that
doesn't
work,
I'll
submit
them
to
joanne
and
go
from
there.
Okay,
I.
A
Can
answer
that
joe
and
I
talked
back
and
forth
and
and
and
I
told
them,
as
you
saw
my
email
friday-
that
we
need
to
have
more
information
on
all
the
stuff.
That's
going
on
and
joanne
has
wholeheartedly
agreed
with
that.
They
were
just
trying
to
get
all
their
facts
together
for
the
work
session
and-
and
I
just
got
on-
I
guess
joanne
and
I
talked
today
and
she
wants
it
scheduled
for
this
next
council
meeting
at
5
30
to
discuss
the
emergency
communications
billing
update
so
and.
G
I
Okay,
just
to
make
things
so
this
goes
good.
If
it's
okay,
I'll,
send
you
a
list
of
stuff
that
I
mean
I'm
looking
for,
and
you
know
answers
that
I'd
like
to
know
and
then
secondly
is,
if
you
could
update
us,
that's
been
a
few
years
ago.
I
think,
since
we
saw
that
master
plan
a
year
or
two,
can
you
possibly
just
go
work
with
donna
and
carol
and
send
us
the
documents
back
through
the
review
sure
we.
C
I
A
J
I
may
just
jump
in
a
little
since
jeff
is
very
new
here
with
us
history
wise
when
we
hired
dwayne
kinley
our
emergency
radio
communication
system
manager.
He
was
hired
at
a
time
where
we
did
not
know
organizationally.
Where,
within
our
current
structure,
we
were
going
to
place
that
office
at
the
time
of
hiring
dwayne.
J
It
was
very
critical
at
that
time
for
that
person
in
that
office
to
be
working
directly
with
the
executive's
office.
On
a
regular
basis
over
the
last
year
or
two
I'll
mention
that
it
is
becomes
difficult
when
we
have
entities
within
county
government
that
are
not
structured
within
a
county
department
because
of
how
our
disciplinary
procedures
are
set
up
and
a
personnel
administration
plan.
When
you
don't
have
another
director
who's
the
appointing
authority,
it
causes
some
additional
juggling
of
that
process.
That
is
not
the
easiest
to
handle.
J
We
can
talk
in
detail
about
some
of
those
matters
if
you'd
like
separately,
so
we've
really
been
looking
over
time.
How
do
we
place
that
function
within
county
government
chuck
had
explored
at
one
point,
providing
that
duties
and
responsibilities
to
the
department
of
information
systems
considered
putting
it
within
the
police
department
and
the
division
of
emergency
management,
consider
putting
it
in
the
department
of
dispatch
and
alarm,
and
we
largely
just
set
on
that
trying
to
figure
out
where
they
best
fit
as
the
system
really
developed.
J
Jeff
probably
sees
the
radio
staff
more
often
now
these
days
than
joanne,
and
I
would
because
they're
largely
working
out
at
his
shop
on
equipment
there,
helping
with
installations
and
are
more
closely
tied
with
the
users
of
the
radio
system,
such
as
dispatch
and
alarm,
such
as
police
dispatch
than
they
are
with
an
administrative
function
within
the
county
executive's
office.
That's
a
lot
of
history,
but
jeff.
You
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you
see
the
structure
in
the
future.
Yeah.
A
K
I
think
in
the
end,
it'll
probably
be
close
to
a
wash
right.
Now,
the
two
dispatch
centers,
the
police
dispatch
center
works
a
different
schedule
than
the
fire
and
ems
dispatch
center.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
overcome
is
get
everybody
on
the
same
schedule
and
then
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
is
be
able
to
cross
train
people
so
that,
if
they're
at
full
staffing
one
day
and
we're
at
less
than
full
staffing,
rather
than
having
to
call
somebody
in
on
overtime,
we
could
just
have
someone.
K
That's
current.
That
normally
would
do
police
dispatching
do
fire
ems
dispatching.
So
I
think,
in
the
long
run
it
will
definitely
reduce
the
overtime
that
we
do.
There
is
a
slight
adjustment
because
of
the
built
in
overtime
that
the
fire
and
ems
dispatchers
work
on
their.
They
have
a
short
week
and
a
long
week
of
48
hours,
so
there's
a
little
overtime
in
there.
So
I
think,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
everything's
said
and
done,
it'll
be
pretty
close
to
a
wash.
K
Though
you
know,
the
the
ordinance
reads
is
september
1st.
The
office
of
emergency
communications
systems
would
become
part
of
dispatch
alarm,
obviously
they're
going
to
continue
to
operate
out
of
their
current
location
down
here
in
st
charles,
at
least
for
a
while.
The
long-range
goal
is
that,
yes,
everybody
will
be
in
the
same
building
right.
Currently,
the
police
dispatching
and
the
fire
ems
dispatching
is
done
in
the
same
building
they're
just
on
different
sides
of
the
hall,
and
so
we
can,
you
know,
share
resources
in
that
way.
K
Have
people
come
back
and
forth
across
the
hall
and,
like
jennifer
said,
under
the
direction
of
one
director
instead
of
two
director
type
positions?
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
talk
about
the
dispatch
police
dispatch
manager,
position
that
recently,
the
county
hired
to
replace
the
lieutenant
that
currently
or
that
had
for
a
number
of
years,
oversaw
the
police
dispatching
operation,
and
I
believe
he
has
been
reassigned
to
the
road,
but
right.
G
There
is
no,
there
is
no
licensed
commissioned
officers
in
dispatch
anymore.
It
was
a
waste
of
their
license.
As
a
law
enforcement
officer,
we
were
taking
people
off
the
road
and
out
of
crime
fighting
to
have
them
supervise
dispatchers,
who
were
very
well
able
to
provide
their
own
supervision.
I
mean
you
have
people
who
are
as
dispatchers
are
experts
in
how
the
computer-aided
dispatching
works
and
how
the
psap
operates
in
how
they
communicate
with
officers
on
the
roads,
what
the
mule's
rules
are
and
all
that
type
of
thing.
G
So
we
we
took
that
officer
threw
in
an
ordinance
with
you
all
and
reassigned
him
to
the
road
and
made
a
civilian
dispatch.
They
originally
had
six
supervisors,
they've
they've
brought
it
down
to
four
supervisors
and
they
took
one
of
the
supervisory
positions
and
made
it
a
civilian
dispatch
manager.
So
that
would
in
essence,
end
up
being
a
division
director
on
the
police
side
of
the
house,
just
as
there's
an
assistant
director
on
the
fire
and
ambulance
side
of
the
house,
but.
J
There
are
no
new
personnel,
no
additional
resources
being
sought
for
the
department.
Actually,
when
you
see
what
would
look
like
a
potential
budget
for
this
department,
it's
as
transparent
as
it
gets
it's
going
to
likely
have
to
be
structured
very
similar
to
the
police
department
budget,
and
that
will
be
dealing
with
several
separate
funds
within
that
department.
The
department
would
be
responsible
for
the
911
fund.
The
radio
system
fund
you'll
have
general
fund
dollars,
it'll
have
capital
improvement,
sales
tax
dollars.
K
J
The
original
dispatch,
original
dispatch
and
alarm
tax
as
well,
so
all
of
those
funds
will
remain
separate.
So
you'll
really
just
see
a
new
department
name
in
the
budget
and
then
you'll
see
all
of
those
separate
divisions.
Just
like
you
always
saw
the
separate
divisions
before
so
you
can
kind
of
track
over
time.
If
there
was
a
single
dollar
change,
you'll
be
able
to
see
it
from
year
to
year,
and
it's
it's
not
like
you're
taking
five
funds,
dumping
them
all
to
one
big
pool
and
then
trying
to
figure
out
where'd
the
money
go
jeff.
I
I
got
a
question
if
you
read
the
title:
it's
built
it's
to
me
a
little
bit,
it's
a
little
complex
but
basically
you're
taking
the
office
of
communications,
emergency
communications
and
your
role
in
that
transfer
and
after
department
of
dispatch
and
alarm,
correct,
okay
and
then
you're,
taking
dispatch
and
alarm
and
merging
that
with
the
police
department,
bureau
of
field
operations,
dispatch,
correct,
okay
dispatch
and
then
you
roll
into
a
brand
new
department.
Okay,
pretty
much.
A
I
Now
my
question
to
you
is:
are
all
those
people
that
you're
affecting
there,
including
chief
todd,
are
they
good
with
this?
Yes,
because
it
looks
to
me,
like
chief
todd,
is
really
pushing
some
control
from
the
police
department,
bureau
field
operations,
communications
division
to
you
guys
he
cool
with
that.
Yes,.
K
G
I
G
We
we've
tried
to
truly
operate
on
the
concept
that
this
is
a
merger
of
the
two
sides
and
not
that
one
side
has
taken
over
the
other.
Okay
jeff
has
done
a
really
good
job
about
offering
them
questionnaires
about.
You
know
what
their
feelings
are
about:
things
like
shift
hours
and
that
type
of
thing
and
giving
their
reasons,
not
just
you
know,
an
a
b
or
c,
but
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
express
their
reasons.
Why
and
reviewing
those
so
trying
to
do
it
so
that
everybody
feels
like
they
have
a
piece
of
this
so.
I
K
Fortunately
enough,
the
firemen
they'll
do
their
things
on
the
field.
Still
it's
just
the
dispatchers
in
the
room,
and
actually
I
was
I'm
very
impressed
during
the
survey
that
we
did.
One
of
the
questions
we
asked
was:
were
they
in
favor
of
cross
training
and
overwhelmingly?
I
don't
remember
what
the
percentage
was.
6
70,
some
odd
percent,
I
think,
or
greater
of
them,
were
looking
forward
to
cross-training
on
the
other
discipline
and
then
participating
in
that
those
dispatching
efforts
as
well.
Okay,.
G
Well,
and
to
be
honest
with
you,
a
lot
of
well
not
a
lot,
but
a
number
of
these
dispatchers
already
work
for
the
opposite
team
at
a
different
agency
as
overtime.
So
a
number
of
jeff's
dispatchers
are
police
dispatchers
at
one
of
our
municipal
dispatch
agencies.
So
it's
it's
something
a
number
of
them
know
they
can
do.
It
gives
them
more
options.
It
gives
us
better
options.
Should
we
have
a
major
crisis,
and
so
it's
it's,
hopefully
a
good
thing
for,
for
both
sides.
I
I
K
Ultimately,
that's
that's
our
hope
when
we
get
in
the
same
building,
especially
in
those
areas
that
are
covered
by
county
police
and
once
we
all
are
in
the
same
building
and
literally
in
the
same
room.
It
won't.
You
know
you
won't
have
to
literally
transfer
it
across
town
you'll,
be
able
to
hand
the
phone
to
someone
else
or
take
care
of
yourself
right
there
in
the
room
and
get
all
of
the
help.
Police,
fire
and
ems
needed
on
the
road
and.

The
county
executive

hereby
authorized
