Boot 106 <br />Director Wright explained that the only thing that delayed this was completion of the <br />backup site at Hobart Tower, which has now been completed. FAA and other agencies have <br />had to change some antennas and other things on the towers, which took a little longer than <br />expected. <br />In response to Commissioner Adams, Director Wright advised that Ericsson is <br />involved in the maintenance and it remains their system for warranty issues until December <br />301`. At that time the County will fund a 9 -month contract for maintenance. The cities that <br />have radios will be paying their own user equipment maintenance costs. <br />Director Wright then reported that on this 15 -channel system there are 1,904 users <br />operating every day. In the past 48-hour period, there were 48,439 PTT's (push to talk) by <br />all the agencies in the county. There were no hold-ups on the system in those 48 hours. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. (Final payment and release of retainage <br />authorized in the amount of $258,768.95 to Ericsson, Inc. for <br />the county -wide 800 MHz simulcast communications system) <br />H.C.
