Local emergency radio upgrade millage on March 10 ballot
The Clinton County 9-1-1 Central Dispatch is the point of contact for all your emergency and non-emergency public safety needs for police, fire and ambulance services.
The County’s current public safety radio system equipment has reached its “end of life” and will not be supported after 2021.
Sheriff Larry Jerue says, “In order to ensure the safety and security of our citizens and our First Responders it is imperative that our 9-1-1 System is capable of receiving and transmitting high quality communications.”
Clinton County Central Dispatch is currently funded by a voter approved monthly surcharge of
$2.75 per device capable of dialing 9-1-1. The revenue from the monthly surcharge has continually decreased at approximately 2% annually due to the loss of landlines and the stabilization of cellular device purchases.
Clinton County voters will be asked to approve a millage proposal in the amount of .85 mills for
9-1-1 center operations and the local voter approved surcharge will be reduced to no more than $1.50 for the radio system infrastructure.
