MARSHALL: I think that we are talking about a lot that people are still perceiving, particularly in the rural areas, the human absorption of the values and where we are and where these things are. When we are putting something into place like this, we have to look at the fact where there are a whole lot more people and the service people are not going to be familiar and very few of them are going to have lived here all their lives. This is the kind of thing that overpowers them. Its not easy for me to explain to people where my house is. It really isn't. I go into a long explanation which usually works and then they - probably only go by it two or three times. I think that in perceiving and putting something like this on coordinates on a GIS system that we really aredoing ~a-' service'"much ._.aiote for 10 to -15 years from now than we are now. I would assume that a special relationship would get in online so that we would know once we got used to it. REEVES: That's right. Imagine how that becomes like in training a class of dispatchers, or a group of dispatchers. It doesn't take long for them to come on-line because the way the thing works and the# way they locate something is going to be mutually supportive. The.system we will provide them and, they way it is laid out,P ofAt ttwre in the real world, will be the same, and it will be the same regardless of where it leads"to in the County. That is the power of it and it contributes in that fashion o *Ca -much longer distance of time As -you said, in the consideration and reconsideration"of services that -you want to provide, it will have an effect. HARTWELL: I need to come into this from a different point -.just lay out here, we said in the name of better services in -we are -going'to renumber you. I say to you frankly we will people who live in the town of Chapel Hill a%&-every last just like the people from Hideaway Estates w re e. We are Terrance, or East Franklin Street. of view. Basically, let me the dim and distant future, not say that to all of the one of them will be in here, not going to renumber Cobb --MARSHALL: We are -going to be renumbered. --We have already been told that we will be renumbered. The county is not going to do it. HARTWELL: According -to the County system, Cobb Terrance and East Franklin Street, are going to be renumbered? _ -- MARSHALL: I do not know if it is according to the County system. HARTWELL:--- Well,-if it is not renumbered according to the County system, then all the benef. its_ which- Roscoe.,,has- delineated, -do not follow. It seems to me that we just have to`` "face:`up� -..td having._a:_system where -the computer serves what is on the ground. The --- notion that -we will change what is on the - ground in order to make it fit nicely into :T ::__;__training _, emergency- personnel:; and: representing it, with :- these on the GIS system. I _.think that we just have to abandon that. REEVES: I:- think" that it is .just: like the first year that the capital improvement �.program,thaV-*u- sought .= There -is a.whole:lot committed there that couldn't possibly be .F`done- An..a. year.` It - -is the same way with the numbers system. It logically has got to be a process. While the computer could do it all at once, or do it very quickly, it can't .as a plan be done all at once. I feel very strongly that a process has to go forward in converting addresses to this system throughout the County everywhere. ,.CAREY:. So you are saying that eventually -you will get to Cobb Terrace.
