Canton future hangs on groups' findings By Diane Gale staff writer Canton faces some major changes this year Two committees were established m 1985 to study the pros and" cons of revamping C a n t o n s government and both face 1986 deadlines for submitting their findings * One group is gathering information about the possibility of switching fiom a charter township format to cityhood. The other is reviewing the effects of h«sng a superintendent to^handle the day-to-day ^administrative tasks, whicl) would slash the supervisor's duties Proposals iq establish inoth committees were m a d e in August by four Canton Township trustees Robert Padget. Loren Bennett, Steve Larson

and John preniczky THE TOWNSHIP SUPERINTENDENT Implementation Committee is scheduled to compile information and present a recommendation to the Canton Township Board by spring 1986 The chances of meeting that deadline lopk bleak "It's a lot more complex than I origi•nally •thought, - ' said E d Portschell, implementation c o m m i t t e e chairman But I-would certainly expect us to have our report completed in 1986 " The goal of the f i v e - m e m b e r group is to work out a process for hiring a superintendent and cntting irv p-arlthe offices of supervisor, clerk and treasurer "We're just trying to wade through what everyone's minimal responsibili-

ties are by law. deciding what the~superintendent s responsibilities would be and how they all interact." Portschell said ^ Laws outlining those duties a r e "vague." he added-. " T h a f s probably deliberate to allow the municipalities to decide for themselves how they want their government to be organized and how they should run," Portschell said In an e f f o r t te learn f r o m history. Dan Durack. committee, secretary, has contacted municipalities with superintendents I've asked whether they think it's a g w d idea. bad idea and, it they could do it over again, what they would do differently." Durack said THE COMMITTEE IS planning to

visit the offices of supervisor, clerk and t r e a s u r e r to get a better understanding o f h o w the departments run and how personnel interact \ T w o major questions concerning the change have already been answered The township is/-legally • allowed to adopt the strong superintendent f o r m a t during the current t^rm And the change can be implemented without a vote of the people — _ "In fact if it went to the vote of the people it would only be an advisory question," Durack said, "Only the township board can m a k e thai change." If the chance is made mid-term ending with the 1988 election' — the office holders would keep their current wages, said Durack, Canton's personnel director The board has t)fe authority to give

"any or all of the duties f r o m the supervisor to the superintendent," excluding the supervisor's duty as board m e m b e r and the responsibility of signing tax assessment rolls. Durack added The committee is also developing a job description and salary scale for the superintendent. Reasons for hiring a superintendent, as presented by the trustees at the t i m e of the proposal, include pinpointing responsibility, creating a m o r e professional and efficient system and establishing consistency in governmental operations when new administrations a r e elected Other members of the Superintendent I m p l e m e n u t i o n ^ o m m i t t e e a r e Robin Koebel.

"We h a v ^ to look ai ihe assumption that with a city there is increased taxation but that's not necessarily true." Please turn to Page 4

Police chiefs favor improved 911 system By Dennia C o f f m a n staft writer Most police chiefs are con^ffleed that western Wayne County would benefit significantly f r o m an Enhanced 911 '' emergency communication system The police chiefs of the City of Plymouth. Plymouth Township and Canton Township a r e among them John ^ a n t o m a u r o , Canton police chief, endorsed the new system "It's still at the study stage, and we're exploring its implementation but I can see that it would be a great enhancement." said Santomau ro "There a r e some features of interest, such as providing a location when the caller is incapacitated Also, the call can be traced so crank calls can be policed The enhanced system is being touted as an improvement over the existing 911 system because the instant a caller in trouble completes the phone connection by dialing " E S t l " the police department's c o m p u t e r knows his name, telephone n u m b e r and address — even if the caller cannot speak Police then can send emergency equipment and personnel to the address and try to re establish telephone contact with the caller. _ Santomaurp said most officials have agreed that E911 is beneficial "It's mainly a political decision. There is no debate on the m e r i t s of the system We have to find out if the cost factor is prohibitive." THE C O N F E R E N C E of Western Wayne (CWW), which is coordinating the efforts of 17 communities interested in considering an E911 system, has asked qpch of the local governments to name a representative to a CWW com-

Computers to speed emergency reponse mittee that is studying E911 Santomauro is Canton's representative Carl Berry, Plymouth Township police chief, Ts the Plymouth Township representative to the CWW E911 committee on which he also serves as chairman Santom^htfo. Berry and Richard Mjers, police chief df the City of Plymouth, all havejeome out in fSvorof the enhanced system f x " Plymouth Township Supervisor Maurice Breen add P l y m o u t h City Manager Henry Graper have said they believe E911 would foe an i m p o r t a n t improvement in responding to emergency situations "It's a much b e t t e r system." said G r a p e r "But we will introduce discussion of it when it c o m e s time to prepare the new budget (April) The earliest we could consider it is during next year's budget discussions "We will look at all departments before we make a decision. We have a 91 r system now It's been estimated that it would cost us in the $15,000 bracket I'm in favor of it. It would be a great service to the city and the police department," said G r a p e r . .

Neither Canton nor Plymouth Township has a 911 system Emergency calls to those communities go through the City of Plymouth Police Department dispatcher The CWW has yet to present its proposal to the City of Plymouth However, Chief Myers is already cdhvinced of the added benefits of the E911 system " I ' m definitely in favor," said Myers "I have seen it in action in Chicago Technically. I was really amazed On the c o m p u t e r screen, we cAn get the n a m e of the person calling and the address It's a good emergency service, and it cuts down on false runs " Plymouth now has a basic 911 service; that is. callers who dial 911 f r o m Plymouth exchanges that begin with 453. 455 and 459 are automatically routed to the Plymouth Police Department BUT P L Y M O I T H also receives calls f r o m Plymouth Township and Canton Township residents who dial 911. Neither of the two townships has its own 911 system, so those residents m u i t f u s t d i a l Oil and Uieu'(lie city routes their calls back to their respec-

K

tive police departments. "Enhanced 911 would break those calls up and the computer would route them selectively to the townships." said Myers "Right now, it's actually quicker for residents of the townships to NOT ase 911 and instead, use their own police department numbers " Myers said the city gets many e m e r gency calls from residents of Plymouth Township and Canton Township as well as Northville Township Even though the city has a basic 911 system in place. Myers said the basic system is not compatible with Enhanced 911 The city, as is the case with most other municipalities, would have to start from scratch if it went to E911 However, the city's new dispatch console and call director could be tied into E911 "The city is not as critical as a r e the other areas." said Myers, "if E911 does not c o m e to pass But E911 would mean that we would no longer need to receive calls from other municipalities and that we would not have to t r a n s f e r those calls M Y E R S P O I N T E D out that it is time-consuming for the city's police dep a r t m e n t to have to receive emergency 911 calls from Canton and Plymouth township residents and then *elay those calls to the proper police d e p a r t m e n t .

"And time is of the essence in emergencies." said Myers. Myers said ha i a "already sold" on the merits of E911 and has to stated in a memo to Graper He said he expected the Plymouth

A

City Commission to hear a presentation f r o m the CWW's executive director. Arm Wagner, in 1986 "But the big issue is how it will be paid for," said Myers "It's like putting a man on the moon. It's up to the people to decide where the money goes and there's not a lot of it around " The CWW is trying to enlist as many of its 17 member communities as possible in the E911 system, to m a k e the system efficient, comprehensive and cost-effective. "The economy of scale would bold the cost down." said Myers

He suggested that, for m a x i m u m effectiveness, the neighboring communities of Plymouth. Plymouth Township. Canton Township and Northville Township should vote to participate in E911. THE BIGGEST task, according UT Myers and other police chiefs, will be feeding every n a m e and address into the computer that the telephone company would use for E911. "Telephone boundaries do not follow geographic boundaries," said Myers. "Each municipality must provide addresses to Michigan Bell That is the time delay." According to Myers, even if the three townships and the city voted to join E911 in January, it would still take two years to get the system on-line.
