TO: Members of the ��;., �i�►�'` d <br />Board of County Commissioners 6.,_ <br />DATE: October 13, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: BUDGET AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE <br />E911 CENTRAL COMMUNICATION <br />• EQUIPMENT <br />FROM: Joseph A. Baird <br />OMB Director <br />Explanation - = <br />Emergency Management needs the attached equipfient <br />to be included in the new E911 Central Communication Center to <br />continue operations in a worst case situation. This would <br />provide a back-up location for the EOC and Executive Group to <br />continue local government operations as well as provide some <br />necessary communications that is needed on routine non -emergency <br />day to day operations. The installation and purchase at a cost <br />of $9,615.60 is much more feasible and less expensive at this <br />point rather than attempt to install it after the center is on <br />line. Sheriff Dobeck has given verbal approval for the addition <br />of the equipment. <br />Funding <br />It is requested that the funding come from the Sheriff <br />Administration Building Construction Fund contingency which has <br />a current balance'of $200,865.00 <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the approval to purchase and installation <br />of this communications equipment listed. <br />Commissioner Eggert emphasized that she still asks questions <br />every time 911 comes up because she is frustrated with all the <br />changes, and OMB Director Joe Baird explained that this <br />particular item is a budget amendment that the Board approved <br />earlier this year. <br />Commissioner Eggert questioned the "verbal approval" given <br />by Sheriff Dobeck, and Director Baird explained that the Sheriff <br />just was saying that he will allow the equipment to be installed <br />in his 911 center. <br />Commissioner Eggert said that in the future she would prefer <br />to see everything in writing. <br />11987 16 <br />BOOK 70 P,*209 <br />
