The Department of Emergency Management Services has sufficient funds <br />to cover the additional costs associated with this new system since <br />some current leased equipment from AT&T will be terminated. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The additional funds required for the Weatherstream 2000 Package <br />will provide color charts, maps, and data over a micro earth station. <br />This will reduce dependence on RT telephone circuits which are to <br />often lost during severe weather. The data and information will <br />be transmitted by satellite to the receiver location and available <br />through a personnal computer. An additional advantage will be the. <br />projection of the information through a computer projector to the <br />operations staff for use in allocating resources to respond to a <br />natural disaster. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />additional funds in the amount of $123.00 for a total of $434.00 <br />for the weather data service so the contract can be finalized and <br />installation scheduled as soon as possible. <br />It is also recommended that the Chairman be authorized to execute <br />the control contract to obtain the weather wire service. <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that the recommendation <br />should read "additional funds in the amount of $123 a month for a <br />total of $434 monthly for the weather data service." <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />additional funds in the amount of $123 a month, for <br />a total of $434 monthly, for the weather data service <br />and authorized the Chairman to execute the contract <br />with Contel as recommended by staff. <br />SAID CONTRACT WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD WHEN FULLY <br />,ate <br />EXECUTED AND RECEIVED. <br />CONTRACT W/MEDICAL DIRECTOR - DR.
