BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – Both the Coldwater and Bronson City Councils passed resolutions on Monday night which ask the Branch County Board of Commissioners to delay formal action on a proposed 911 Central Dispatch draft service plan following next Tuesday’s public hearing which will take place during the Commissioners final regular meeting of the year.
Village Councils in Union City and Quincy are also expected to consider similar resolutions this week.
Coldwater City Manager Keith Baker serves not only as the city’s representative on the 911 Advisory Board but he also chairs the Board as well.
He said in his memo to the City Council for Monday’s meeting that the draft service plan has been prepared without any input from other stakeholders of the 911 Central Dispatch system. The resolution also asked Commissioners to engage the Countyâs various municipal and public agencies in developing a new service plan.
