Star Tribune: Richfield Will Take Another Month to Decide Fate of City's 911 Service
The delay will allow for more public comment and a chance to see bids from Bloomington and Edina, the newspaper reported.
The Richfield City Council decided to take more time for its decision on whether to maintain a municipal 911 dispatch service or turn it over to Hennepin County, according to the Star Tribune:
The council had faced a deadline for bidding on expensive dispatch software last week that effectively would have forced a decision on whether to keep or drop the city’s independent 911 center. That deadline was extended, giving the city until mid-July to decide whether to keep its own dispatch or seek service from another provider.
