There was a heated discussion between a dozen municipalities in Lucas County on Thursday on the best way to keep you safe with the new 911 consolidation plan. There are 21 municipalities involved in the agreement; the biggest concerns are coming from the area's smaller villages and townships. "It would be like turning the decision to go to war over to the troops that are actually fighting it," Springfield Township trustee Andy Glenn said. That's how Glenn describes the leadership model for 911 consolidation currently. There would be seven police and fire chiefs making the final decisions. He and some other municipalities would like to see administrative officers like local mayors in charge. "And we're not comfortable giving that full authority on how those tax dollars are used to a seven-member committee," Glenn said.
