Kane, Executive Director <br />September 13, 1976 <br />Mr, Bill Wodtke, Chairman <br />911 Action Committee <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Bill: <br />• ADMINISTRATION • <br />ELECTRONIC DATA <br />• BOND FINANCE <br />PROCESSING <br />• BUILDING CONSTRUCTION • <br />MOTOR POOL <br />AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT • <br />PURCHASING <br />• COMMUNICATIONS • <br />SURPLUS PROPERTY <br />Please address reply to Room 651, <br />Larson <br />Building <br />This is to follow up on our telephone conversation of—September 9, <br />1976. <br />The Division of Communications has been informed that the implemen- <br />tation funds appropriated for the 911 Emergency Telephone Number <br />Program, by the 1976 Legislature, were not intended to make the <br />program mandatory at this time. The funds were provided to assist <br />those counties which elect to proceed with their systems. <br />I am sorry to hear that 911 operator costs iare preventing implemen- <br />tation of an answering center in Indian River County. Unfortunately, <br />an all transfer system as planned in your county creates a need for <br />an all new staff. Labor costs can, on the other hand, be minimized <br />by using existing operators and complaint writers wherever possible. <br />You stated that you intended to request a quote for an 8A Key Sys- <br />tem from Southern Bell Telephone Company- As we discussed, monthly <br />telephone.recurring costs can be reduced with this equipment. Please <br />send me a copy of their response, in order that I can assist you in <br />assuring that it is technically adequate and as low in cost as pos- <br />sible. If I can be of any assistance, please call me at (904) 487-2000, <br />Sincerely, <br />Edward J//elander <br />Communi tions Engineer <br />EJT/ktu <br />LIN <br />SEP z 2 1976 <br />`1# 47 <br />
