Legislative Committee – Jay Somerville, City of Dublin

OH County Commissioner meeting to be held on November 3 in Columbus. The future of 911 will be discussed. Look for an update at the next NENA / APCO meeting concerning funding. House and Senate are out until after the elections. Nothing is on the legislative agenda at this point concerning 911.

Ohio 9-1-1 Council - Lynn Feller, Wayne County, Working on report to GA due 11/30. Survey results sent out in 2010, data from 30 counties missing initially and still looking for information from several counties. Report will be to mention frustration at lack of authority to require information from counties and PSAPs on how and how much money they have spent on 911. There is no accurate way to make a statement to say how many wireless vs. wire line calls have been made. Council meetings are on APCO web site Lynn and Jay Somerville asked for the membership to attend these meetings if at all possible to present a larger, united front to council.
