If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me or Don Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, at 356-4000, extension 4218. Very truly yours, Kim Fliethman Secretary/Treasurer 911 Emergency Telephone Authority Budget Message Service: Prior to 1990, many jurisdictions in Weld County had limited 911 service. Some jurisdictions had no method to report emergencies using the telephone system. To serve the public welfare and the best interests of all citizens in Weld County, 48 government entities within Weld County agreed to form the Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority to implement enhanced 911 emergency telephone capability for every telephone in Weld County. E-911 is a telephone system utilizing the single three-digit number 911 for reporting police, fire, medical, or other emergency situations. A call on the E-911 system automatically displays the location of the caller's telephone number, address for the telephone, and other supplemental information of the calling party's location at a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) . There are PSAP's in Fort Lupton and Weld County Regional Communications Center. The appropriate response personnel and jurisdiction are notified of the emergency from the PSAP. The Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority is a separate legal entity responsible to administer the E-911 emergency telephone service program for all of Weld County except the Town of Erie. The Authority Board is authorized to collect an emergency telephone charge not to exceed seventy cents per month. The Authority Board must determine the surcharge rate each year no later than September 1 and fix the new rate to take effect commencing with the first billing period of each telephone customer on or following the next January 1st. Funds collected from the surcharge must be spent solely to pay for the equipment costs, for the installation costs, and for the monthly recurring charges, and, if moneys are available after such charges are fully paid, such funds may be expended for emergency medical services provided by telephone. Any funds collected and unexpended at the end of the budget year are carried over to the next succeeding year to be used in supplying E-911 emergency telephone service. The Authority Board may do any act as may be necessary to continue operation of the 911 emergency telephone service including, but not limited to, the ability to negotiate with equipment vendors and service suppliers to obtain the benefit of technological developments. These benefits must improve or enhance the quality and efficiency of 911 emergency telephone service to the users. The primary funding resource for E-911 service is the surcharge established in 1988 at fifty cents per month per telephone service. The surcharge has since remained unchanged. Beginning in 1998, the surcharge was also extended to wireless phones. The revenue from the fifty cent surcharge and surplus revenues carried forward from previous years will produce sufficient revenues in 2005 to fund expenditures authorized by the intergovernmental agreement and current legislation. Budgetary Accounting Basis: The Basis of Accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in financial statements. The Basis for Accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied. Revenue and expenditures or expenses are accounted for using a modified accrual method. This method recognizes revenue in the year in which it becomes both measurable and available as net current assets or, when revenue is of a material amount, planned for but not yet received. Revenue in the modified accrual method primarily consists of surcharges collected even though the surcharge may not have yet been remitted by telephone companies in the service area. Unbilled charges for services are recorded in the appropriate fund at year end. Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. The Board adopted a policy in the September 15, 1992 meeting to fund an equipment reserve by depreciating E-911 equipment effective January 1, 1993. Equipment will be depreciated using a straight-line method and a five-year life. This depreciation method results in an annualized expense of approximately $170,000. Lease-Purchase Agreements: The following supplemental data regarding lease purchase agreements involving real property pursuant to Section 29-1-104 (2) (d) , CRS, 1973 as amended: $ 0 A. The total amount to be expended during the ensuring fiscal year for payment of obligations under all lease-purchase agreements involving real property. $ 0 B.
