Troy Area Dispatch News Today

At Wednesday's county commissioners meeting, they learned they're stuck with a $58,000 tab that resulted, in part, from TAD paying overtime in a futile attempt to keep its dispatch open this year.

A public hearing on the matter is being held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Lincoln County Commissioners meeting.

After discussion at a Sept. 22 meeting, Troy Area Dispatch Board members John Righter, Heather McDougall and Hank LaSalla voted unanimously to dissolve the Troy Area Dispatch District and permanently transfer dispatch services to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

The center has struggled to maintain necessary staffing for quite some time with the county Sheriff’s Office handling calls in the Troy area in the interim.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in city council chambers at 301 E. Kootenai Ave.
