RE:
Fees for Communications Services
At the June 20th Council Meeting Council, staff recommended and the Council
approved that a fee be established for dispatching services provided by the Ashland
Communications Center.
It is requested that Calls for Services be the base criteria for assessing fees at the
current time. This method assesses a percentage of total usage to each participant in
the dispatch center based on budgeted costs after anticipated revenues have been
deducted. This would be the easiest method to track and administer.
Utilizing 1994-95 budget figures, the assessment base would be:
$ 541,000 TOTAL BUDGET
$(153,000) ANTICIPATED 911 REVENUE
$ 388,000 BASE AMOUNT FOR DISTRIBUTION

TOTALS 12,009 100.00% $388,000
'~ Calls for Service for sosc are estimated as we have not had a full ~,ear yet. As of
May 31, 1994 we have had 800 CFS.
Those departments/agencies costs not already covered through budgeting and/or
recripocal agreements, would be billed in arrears for each year quarter, beginning July
1, for the fee assessment. Notification of the annual amount due (based on previous
year calls for service) for budgeting purposes, would be provided to all agencies by
March 30 of the calendar year.
