Given his background and credentials, Mr. <br />Warden certainly should be able to point out to us any,errors or <br />omissions that he detects. <br />Administrator Chandler emphasized that the project is well in <br />excess of $3 -million and we are looking to having someone with more <br />technical expertise look at the system and the contract to be sure <br />we are on the right track. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, to approve $7,590 from the <br />Optional One Cent Sales Tax revenue to retain the <br />services of Richard Warden as set out in the Scope <br />of Services submitted. <br />Under discussion, Chairman Macht wished to note that since the <br />original presentation was made on this, staff has done some pretty <br />innovative things. The location and establishment of towers for <br />antenna locations has saved a substantial amount of money, and they <br />are investigating moving to fiber optic cable rather than the <br />microwave system. The Council of Public Officials has developed a <br />cooperative effort between all the municipalities, and Vero Beach <br />has been forthcoming in making an existing system available for <br />multi -organizational use. It involves the Sheriff's Dept., the <br />judiciary, the Vero Beach power plant and the Indian River County <br />school system. We are going to wind up with a system that is <br />cheaper than the microwave system, more secure, and infinitely more <br />versatile at a considerably lower cost. We have seen the drawings <br />at the last couple of meetings, and he believed there will be some <br />interesting results that will reduce telecommunication costs in <br />other areas than the 800 MHz system. We hope to have a <br />presentation on that pretty soon. <br />Chairman Macht felt we need to commend staff because they have <br />given considerable thought to this whole project. They have <br />developed plans that will greatly facilitate communications to our <br />criminal justice system, our administrative and administrative <br />channels, as well as our information channels, namely the <br />transmission of video from county line to county line. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />passed by a vote of 4-0, Chairman Eggert being absent. <br />(Clerk's Note: actual contract was approved today, but <br />bid was awarded 9/5/95) <br />Io <br />OCTOBER 3, 1995 <br />
