Commissioner Lyons wished to be assured this will be equipment that can be moved, and the Sheriff confirmed that it all will be able to be moved on site in the new building. Commissioner Lyons noted we will have to have interim funding and then this will come out of the bond issue. OMB Director Baird advised that if it is a capital cost for the 911 system, it can be funded through the surcharge. Sheriff Dobeck emphasized the need to address the 6 new position for the communications center as it cannot become operational without them. He did not know if that has to be appropriated from another area of the budget or it it can come out of some alternative funding. OMB Director Baird stated that this would have to come out of General Fund contingencies. Discussion continued in regard to having the computer available January 1st, and Commissioner Bird asked if this is purchased on state contract. Sheriff Dobeck advised that they currently have all General Electric equipment, and it would be almost impossible for any other major company to come in and bid a total change that would be compatible. They are not required to put this out to bid, and these are all state contract items in any event. General Services Director Dean confirmed these items would be under state contract or purchased through GSA. Chairman Scurlock noted that none of the new positions were included in the Sheriff's budget, and Sheriff Dobeck pointed out that the decision to operate the 911 system strictly out the Sheriff's Department was made after the budget was done. Chairman Scurlock inquired about any corresponding reduction in personnel in the Fire Department, for example, because there are dispatchers there. 108
