County panel OK with dispatching for Seneca's calls

Majority of entities Grundy ETSB serves must approve the addition

The Grundy County Rules Committee approved providing Seneca with dispatch services through the Grundy County ETSB. Its recommendation will go to the full county board in Janurary.

The Grundy County Emergency Telephone System Board (911 board) is currently asking the 15 members for whom it provides dispatching service to approve an agreement adding Seneca ETSB and the village of Seneca.

In June 2012, the 911 board's executive committee approved a dispatching fee of $75,000 to take on Seneca police, fire and EMS calls. In addition, Seneca will pay a one-time impact fee of $15,000.The fee was determined by the board's finance committee based on call volume and legal fees.
