end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Receive the annual update from Dakota 911 Executive Director on the work of the organization over the past year.
SUMMARY
Dakota 911 Executive Director Heidi Hieserich will be at the meeting to present the annual update of the work of Dakota 911 over the past year. This presentation is a part of our approach to hear from our partners directly on the work they are doing that impact the residents of Dakota County.
As you are aware, Dakota 911 was established in 2005 through a joint power’s agreement between Dakota County and the 11 major cities within the county to provide one public safety answering point and dispatch center countywide. The facility opened in 2007 and has been operating successfully since that time.
Dakota 911 is guided by a government structure with three distinct committees including the Board of Directors (elected officials), the Executive Committee (city/county chief administrators) and the Operations Committee (law enforcement, fire, and emergency service personnel). Dakota County is represented on the Board of Directors in 2026 by Commissioner Slavik, who also serves as the Dakota 911 Board Chair in 2026.
