Background of Joint Emergency Communication Center
In 2005, the City of Iowa City undertook a consultant study focusing on necessary radio upgrades for its emergency responders. The consultant’s final report fostered discussion among Johnson County governmental entities regarding the feasibility of a joint emergency communication center to ensure interoperability of communications between the agencies. A multi-jurisdictional Johnson County Council of Governments (JCCOG) subcommittee began formal discussions in June 2006. Its final recommendation was to build a joint emergency communication center to replace the two existing centers.
All participating entities and respective officials are strong supporters of the project, and in 2008 approved the necessary 28E agreement to form the joint communication center organization. The primary reason for this joint effort is to promote more efficient and effective public safety communication services to the Johnson County area. Funding for the center comes from an approved special emergency management levy assessed to all property taxpayers of Johnson County.
The Joint Emergency Communication Center is located in a 17,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility at 4529 Melrose Avenue in Iowa City. The building includes offices for the Johnson County Emergency Management Agency.

In addition, the region is host to annual festivals, sporting events, and the renowned resort community, Sunriver. The natural beauty of the scenic setting, mild climate, diverse recreational opportunities, and growing economy make Deschutes County a choice place to live, work, and play.
