OLD BUSINESS:
1. Emergency Notifications: Dave Mathis reviewed the Intrado offer to provide an
emergency notification system in Weld County. His recommendation was for
option #4, 440,000 usage units, with additional units available 10,000 for $2,000.
This information was shared with the Weld County Fire Chief's Association; their
members present were satisfied with enhancing our current system.
• Commissioner Garcia stated that he had reviewed the plan with
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and she was satisfied with the plan as well.
• The County finance division is seeking a Department of Local Affairs
(DOLA) grant to assist with emergency services projects such as this.
The Board agreed not to enter into a contract until the grant question
was settled, to remain eligible for funds, but to move forward with the
decision at this time.
Ron Grannis moved to accept Intrado's offer for option #4, and in the event that
DOLA does not pay for it, the E-911 Board will. Bill Garcia seconded and the motion
carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Treasurer Reports: Randy Winsett presented the June 2009 Treasurer Report.

2. Dispatch overtime concern: (Board Member Gary Sandau was present for this
vote.) Mike Savage reported that at the regularly scheduled E-911 board meeting
Jerry Gamer from Greeley and Don Warden from Weld County presented the
budget outlook for remaining 2009 and for 2010. As a result, Communications
Director Mike Savage identified money originally allocated for training overtime
which could potentially be used to fund operational overtime. The request is: to
reallocate $156,000 in 2009 and $185,000 in 2010 from training to fund
operational overtime expenses
Ron Grannis moved to reallocate the overtime funding in the amounts stated
by Mike Savage for this year's budget and for 2010. Randy Winsett seconded
and the motion carried unanimously.
Juan Cruz stated that the reallocation for 2010 would be a line item at budget
time, and that the reallocation is for this unanticipated shortfall, not to be a routine
budget item.
3. Lunches for E-911 board: At the next meeting the board will discuss whether to
continue meeting at noon on the 4th Tuesday or if the board wishes to stop
purchasing lunches and will meet on another day and time.
Meeting adjourned at 12:12 p.m. - Minutes taken by Susan Johnson
