FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC Seeks To Fill 911 Service System Advisory Committee Vacancy
Lincoln, January 13, 2020 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) is working to fill one vacancy on the
911 Service System Advisory Committee (911 SSAC).
Interested individuals must be a representative of an
agency from the second congressional district and be
a representative in public safety/Emergency Medical
Services (EMS).
“State statute requires that we have representation from
all three congressional districts on the advisory committee,”
said David Sankey, state 911 director. “As committee
members transition in and out, we not only have to fill
specific spots, but also ensure our congressional balance.”
The second congressional district encompasses the core of
the Omaha metro area. It includes all of Douglas County
and the suburban areas of western Sarpy County.
Created by the legislature with the passage of LB993, the
Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the PSC
on matters concerning the implementation, coordination,
operation, management, maintenance and funding of the
911 Service System as the state transitions to Next
Generation 911 (NG911). Committee members serve three
years without pay, but do receive reimbursement for
expenses related to Committee duties.
If you are a representative in public safety/Emergency Medical
Services (EMS), are from the second congressional district
and are interested in becoming a part of the 911 SSAC, apply
online by filling out a 911 Service System Advisory
Committee (911SSAC) application on the Next Generation
911 page of the PSC website. Applications must be received
by the close of business (5:00 p.m.), Friday, January 31.
For more information on the 911 Service System Advisory
Committee, visit the NextGeneration911 page of the
PSC website. ###
