Dispatch services to Ottawa? ACTUAL I TÉ • NEWS
DIANE HUNTER diane.hunter@eap.on.ca
A cost comparison from a recent report conducted by Willow Falls Consulting com- pany shows if all municipalities switch to the Ottawa fire dispatch, therewill be a cost savings of 20 per cent over five years. Mayor Barton discussed the need for Hawkesbury to upgrade its equipment, and the cost for these upgradeswill be passed onto themunicipalitiesHawkesbury serves. “Ottawa is doing a $50millionupgrade,” Barton explai- ned. “So it doesn’t matter if they add us in.” The township will have to conduct a study to decide if switching to the Ottawa service will be best for the township, as well as cost effective. Since other municipalities are also considering the switch, Mayor Barton said doing the study as a group would be more efficient, as well as less costly. “The study will tell uswhat we need to do,” saidBarton. CAO/ Treasurer PaulaKnudsen said therewouldbe a 10 per cent discount, if themunicipalities do the study as a group, and the study should be complete in two months. “Inmy humble opinion, we can’t afford it,” saidBarton, regarding remainingwithHawkes- bury. “Hawkesbury won’t be able to afford it on its own. If everybody else opts out, theywill have a very difficult time to have a dispatch.” Mayor Barton asked the council to agree in principle, so the study could at least get started. “We have to pass another motion to pass the Glentel proposal. Wemay have to come back in July to pass a motion,” said Mayor Barton, much to the chagrin of council members.
Champlain Township is also considering switching its fire dispatch service from Hawkesbury to Ottawa. La Nation municipality has already opted to go with Ottawa, and other municipalities are now considering the same. Champlain council has voted to go ahead with a study to determine what the best move would be. The Hawkesbury fire dispatch service currently services Russell Township, Village of Casselman, La Nation municipality, East Hawkesbury, Alfred-Plantagenet, Township of North Glengarry, Township of North Stor- mont, andChamplainTownship.Their current contract will end in February 2016. The municipalities met in Hawkesbury to discuss a study conductedbyGlentel Commu- nications onwhat it would cost to switch to the Ottawa dispatch service, and the implications of that switch. Russell Townshiphas already conducted a study, and is seriously considering themove. It cost Russell Township $3,700 to do the study, and will cost $25,000 to make the switch. If Russell leaves Hawkesbury dispatch, it would mean an increase in costs for Cham- plain and the othermunicipalities servicedby Hawkesbury. “If Russell leaves, our costs will go from $35,000 to $49,000 in one shot,” said Mayor Gary Barton. “If someone else leaves, our costs will go up again.”
