MAY 22, 2001
The Weld County Communications Advisory Board met Tuesday,May 22, 2001, at 10:30 a.m. in
the Weld County Centennial Center, Room 350. Chairperson Mike Geile called the meeting to
order. Present were Board Members Mike Geile,Ed Jordan,Steve Linde,John Michaels,and Mike
Savage; and staff members Jack Statler, Jon Baker, and Linda Weingardt.
MINUTES:
Ed Jordan moved,seconded by Mike Savage,to approve the minutes of the April 24,2001,meeting
as presented. Minutes were unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
1. Staff Report: Jack advised that Bob Yant of Lochbuie expressed interest in serving as that
area's representative to the Board. An application was sent to him, but nothing has been
received.
Jack advised that staff will be looking at issues with badge numbers,specifically the impact
on RMS.
Greeley is still not using their 800 radios, however probably will be doing so in about
another week.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Mike Geile introduced Evelyn Soloynka of United Way who gave a presentation in "IRIS"
software,an information retrieval system that should be functioning by July 10. This system
is a way for the public to access to information on service providers in the area. The
software is currently being used in Denver and Larimer County and includes 611 programs,
and 238 agencies located in Weld, Larimer, Denver, Grand Junction, and Atlanta. This
information will be accessible by calling a"to be announced"phone number or by accessing
it on the Internet. Disks will be available free of charge and they will self-destruct in six
months,at which time new disks will be available. This will evolve into the 211 system,and
when that system is running,it is anticipated that non-emergency calls into 911 will decrease.
The United Way currently has seven funding partners in this venture. Packets were
distributed to Board Members and were also picked up for Board Members not present.
Discussions will commence with police, fire and emd.
As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
