The additional equipment will assist in precluding a call for <br />emergency assistance from a hearing impaired person being delayed <br />or not answered. The current policy is that all "silent line" <br />calls are assumed to be a TDD call and they are handled <br />accordingly.. However, during extremely busy times, it is possible <br />for a silent line call from a hearing impaired person not be <br />recognized immediately. The TDD Detectors will provide a signal to <br />the 911 Call Takers that a TDD call is incoming and it can be <br />timely handled and the appropriate emergency assistance dispatched <br />quickly. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board authorize the purchase of one TDD and <br />three (3) TDD Detectors from the appropriate vendors noted above <br />for use in the 911 PSAP's and the County Emergency Operations <br />Center for a total expenditure of $1,675. Funds for the purchase <br />of this equipment is available in the Communications Center budget <br />in account No. 133. Staff also recommends that the Board authorize <br />the necessary budget amendment for funds to be expended for the <br />equipment. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the purchase of Telephone Devices for the Deaf (TDD) <br />at a total cost of $1,675, as set forth in the <br />staff's recommendation. <br />INDOOR AIR QUALITY - COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean commented from the <br />following memo dated December 27, 1993: <br />DATE: DECEMBER 27, 1993 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E.
