Plan for 911 Center Move to HSB on MDH
Campus 2 Goes Forward
After a two-month 'pause,' the new 9-1-1 Center move to the basement of Health Services Building Two (HSB2) on the McDonough District Hospital campus will now move forward, Sheriff Nick Petitgout and chair of the 911 and Emergency Telephone Systems Board (ETSB), told the MDH Board of Directors at a special meeting Thursday evening.
While the Board was meeting to discuss going ahead with a separation agreement with outgoing CEO/President Bill Murdock, during the public comment portion of the meeting, Petitgout, along with County Board Chair Eric Blakeley and Fire Chief Dan Meyer, discussed the plans for the new center relocating to the MDH campus.
At the April meeting of the full County Board, Chair Blakeley announced that the county's 911 and Communications Board, of which Blakeley is a member, has placed a 60-day hold on the move to the MDH campus due to the 'instability' at the hospital.
