New Franklin continues to work towards upgrading its dispatch equipment to remain a primary center following the state changing some of the requirements for a community to remain a primary center. During the Feb. 6 meeting, City Council approved an agreement with Priority Dispatch for the purchase of emergency medical software and training for the New Franklin Dispatch Center. Council also approved an agreement with Stephen Campbell Associates for the purchase of the Eventide NexLog 740 Recording System. Mayor Paul Adamson said he believes the city is getting this equipment at the best price possible and the new recording system will allow it to expand what phone calls are recorded. The new medical software will allow dispatchers to give step-by-step instructions until emergency responders arrive.
