Julie Walde, Shane Scofield, and Linda Weingardt.

approved as presented. Minutes were unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
1. Staff Report:
Jack Statler advised that sometime probably in late 2001 or early 2003,Records and
Dispatch will be moving to the new County facility. He will prepare some figures
and present a ballpark figure for funding for the move. He advised that the previous
move to County facilities was fairly easy because of the distance involved
(approximately two blocks), however because of the distance moving to the new
facility in North Greeley, the move will be more involved and costly.
Shane Scofield gave an update on the Reverse 911 program. Sigma Micro(Reverse
911)has advised that they will provide quarterly updates to the database at a reduced
rate. Their database will not include unlisted numbers. Intrada (Qwest) is willing
to do something better than their original proposal. Nothing will be decided until
after Jack and Mike Geile meet with Qwest concerning their charges for the database,
and budget figures are available.
Jon Baker gave monthly Dispatch stats for July and advised that two new Dispatchers
were hired in July and another is ready for hire. This will bring the Center up to full
staffing,however 8 of the dispatchers will be in training. Current staffing is 29 full-
time and 6 part-time dispatchers,however to staff properly 35 full-time dispatchers
should be in place.
Medical Priority v.11 has been received and will be installed in one CAD
workstation to be used for training. The Board previously agreed to pay costs for
training, which will be overtime, and Jon asked if records were maintained for OT
costs for the training could be submitted at the end of the training period. The Board
advised that would be appropriate. Jon will submit a bill at the end of training for the
OT costs.

Funding had previously been approved to purchase a new recording system for
Dispatch, however it was determined that no system currently available is able to
record from the 800 mhz system. Racal is working with Motorola and hopes to have
a device with the 800 capability in the near future,but can provide no information on
when or the cost. Jon advised that he is hesitant to purchase a recorder that can't
handle the 800 calls and asked if the approved funds could be carried to next year's
budget. After discussion on the inability of the current system to function properly
and the loss of information from the system, John Michaels moved, seconded by
Tom Bizzell, to approve$37,000 to purchase a new recording system. Motion was
unanimously approved.
Jack advised that Motorola is currently working the 800 system and radios up and
down completely,checking to find the problem. Greeley is not ready to go back on
the system at this time.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Treasurer's Report: John Michaels moved, seconded by Tom Bizzell, to approve
payment of $27,228.42 to Qwest for monthly service. Motion was unanimously
approved.
2. A copy of the Physician Advisor Agreement for EMD was mailed to each Board
Member for review. Tom Bizzell moved, seconded by Rod Deroo, to approve the
agreement for signing. Motion was unanimously approved.
As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Next meeting will be Tuesday,
September 18, 2001, at noon.
