EMERGENCY? CALL 911

On December 22, 2019, South Sound 911 transitioned from an interlocal administrative agency to a Public Development Authority (PDA) in accordance with RCW 35.21.730-755 (Resolution 2019-13). The former governing bodies, the Policy Board and Operations Board, were dissolved and the 11-member Board of Directors became the sole governing body to which the South Sound 911 executive director reports.

All local government agencies contracting for the agency’s services are represented on the board, either directly or indirectly. A separate Public Safety Communications Operations Committee of police and fire chiefs advise the Board of Directors and executive director on any matters related to South Sound 911 operations.

Board members are elected officials with representation that is reflective of the agency’s customer base. Seats on the board are allocated among South Sound 911’s member agencies based on the relative size of the most recently approved annual Communications Assessments payable by member agencies. Terms are three (3) years and there are no term limits.

Meetings

The Board of Directors meet monthly. Public comment is allowed at the start of every meeting.
