Booz 69 Pa,UF.544 Fellsmere Volunteer Fire Department Eight (8) radios @ $190.00 each = $1,520 Fellsmere Volunteer Ambulance Squad Three (3) radios @ $190.00 each = $570 Indian River County Volunteer Ambulance Squad Seven (7) radios @ $190.00 each = $1,330 Sebastian Volunteer Ambulance squad Four (4) radios @ $190.00 each = $760 Total funds required for GE Star Validators $16,910. The North Indian River County Fire Taxing District budget will require the approval of an amendment for the expenditure of these funds. Funds for Emergency Management and the volunteer ambulance squads radio equipment apparently will have to be made available from the County General Fund amending the budget earlier approved. It is respectfully requested that action be taken by the Board of County Commissioners to approve and/or direct the appropriate response so the various EMS/Fire agencies will be able to interface the CAD/ Central Dispatch System by January 1, 1987. Doug Wright, Director of Emergency Management, reported that he indirectly received a copy of the memo from the Sheriff's Dept. dated July 22, 1987, giving some information about the GE Star Validator for the communication equipment used by the emergency response departments. Based on that information, he advised the Board of our current situation in terms of numbers and dollars since we did not have this information available at the time the budget was prepared. Vice Chairman Bowman asked why we were notified so late, and Director Wright said he could not answer that question -- he M received the information somewhere around July 25th. Commissioner Bird was curious to know what bidding process was used by the Sheriff's Dept. in determining that Communications of Vero would install these radios at the tune of $190 a piece. He stated he was not prepared to approve this expenditure until he found that out. 60' � i �
