With the assistance of an overhead projector, Director Wright <br />presented an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages <br />of each of the following 7 alternatives: <br />COMMUNICATIONS ALTERNATIVES <br />1. Do not take advantage of the trunked radio technology and do <br />not reserve frequencies now available. <br />2. Retain the existing VHF and UHF radio systems now in use and <br />replace with narrowband equipment when required to do so by <br />the FCC. <br />3. Expand existing facilities as additional conventional UHF and <br />VHF frequencies become available. <br />4. Contract with a Specialized' Mobile Radio (SMR) licensee to <br />provide the infrastructure for a monthly recurring fee. <br />5. Expand the existing county 800 MHz radio system for county <br />departments only, rather than funding the infrastructure for <br />a county -wide communications system. <br />6. Approve, fund and implement an 800 MHz trunked county -wide <br />radio communications system. <br />7. Approve, fund and implement an 800 MHz trunked county -wide <br />radio communications system for public safety agencies only. <br />Director Wright advised the Board that Mark Pallans, the <br />consultant who performed the 800 MHz study, was present at the <br />meeting to answer any questions the Board might have. <br />Director Wright then projected the following cost analysis of <br />the 7 alternatives: <br />EXHIBIT III, "800 MHz TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEM <br />AND COMMUNICATION ALTERNATIVES 11 <br />IS ON FILE IN THE EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT OFFICE <br />11 BOOK 92 NUT •)� <br />APR 2 8 1994 <br />...:° <br />, ::.COST'ANALYSIS <br />ALTERNATNE <br />INFRASTRUCTURE <br />?
