seconded by Tom Bizzell,to approve the minutes of the February 20,2001,meeting. Minutes were
unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
1. Staff Report: Jon Baker advised that during February , Dispatch was fully staffed. Since
then, two resignations have been received and he is currently new dispatchers. Two part-
time call takers have been hired and are in training.
AQUA is working great.
Jon reported on Reverse 911. Frank has checked on other Reverse 911 programs, finding
that the cost was double, and the database was not as good as Reverse 911, therefore he
recommends Reverse 911 as the vendor to purchase the program from. The total cost would
be approximately $44,974 (including options and training), and $8,000 per year for
maintenance (includes updating database) after the first year. Jon asked if another
presentation should be made for new Board members,but the Board decided it would delay
the process too long, and money was budgeted for 2001 for a system, which at the present
time will only be used as an emergency system. Gary Paxton moved, seconded by Tom
Bizzell, to authorize purchase from Reverse 911, the base system, options identified by
Frank, and training for approximately $44,974. Motion passed unanimously.
Jon advised on the new 800 mhz system. It has been operational at GPD for almost a month,
with some minor glitches. So far the transmissions have been crystal clear and there are no
dead spots identified. The next phase will be the addition of a third tower and a second zone
controller by the end of 2001, when UCFRA will be added. Andy from Motorola is doing
assessments of the other agencies and will present a list to the Board.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Rod Deroo moved, seconded by Joe Perales,to approve payment of$28,714.01 to US West
for monthly service. Motion was approved unanimously.
