Two council meetings in two nights? Bring it on.
In the wake of Monday night’s special meeting, Council reconvened on Tuesday for another lengthy session. Although the discussion about Dispatch carried on, it took on a new life this time. Other agenda items included:
- A new program for treating low-level offenders dealing with homelessness, substance addiction, or mental health issues.
- An update about the water system in Norwood
- A change to 2021 appropriations in response to COVID
- and much more

I do not know the ins/outs of the 911 call response/dispatch.
Only that in the 90s we’d call 911 and get a response, prior to the 90s, back in the 80s/70s/60s we’d call “O” for the operator “I have an emergency & need Fire/Police/Ambulance” – help came.
There was no special charge. Such came later in the 90s per line. With Cells the number of lines per family skyrocketed, not a one but 2/3/4/5/6…. . Fees for 911 per month – if adding up all the lines seemed to increase dramatically. How much is collected for 911 gross? Yet, I keep hearing about the 911 system being perpetually outdated/insufficient? So the feeding trough of funds coming to 911 grows and 911 needs more & more? I did not know Norwood had a separate such operation – so the 911 fee you pay per line how is that dissected used by the county/city?
