INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT OUR PRESENT SYSTEM IS ONLY ABOUT 48% OPERATIONAL. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE REQUIRED TO GO TO HIGHER FREQUENCIES BY LAW AND THE COUNTY IS NOT, SO THE FREQUENCY WE HAVE APPLIED FOR IS A VALUABLE FREQUENCY AS IT WOULD HAVE NO INTERFERENCE. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WE CAN STRUGGLE ALONG THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN DOING ANL HE WOULD RATHER STAY THAT WAY UNTIL WE CAN PUT IN A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM. HE POINTED OUT THAT IT ?S MAINLY A PROBLEM OF LOSS OF TIME AND WILL BECOME EVEN MORE IMPORTANT WITH THE NEW LANDFILL, THE WATER PROBLEM, AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE IN THE OFFING.

COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED HE FELT THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS A GOOD ONE AND NOTED THAT THE REPEATER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE COUNTY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF HOBART PARK HAD BEEN CONSIDERED AS A POSSIBLE SITE AND NOTED THAT WE HAVE A PARK SUPERVISOR LIVING AT THIS LOCATION. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT INADVERTENTLY THIS LOCATION HAD NOT BEEN CONSIDERED, AND HE FELT IT WAS A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION, PAR- TICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY ASPECT.
