CONSIDER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN -
MOTOROLA, INC.: Mr. Warden explained Mike Savage and his staff have been working on
implementation of the 800 Mhz system, which will have a total cost of $3,958,732 including the State's
portion and the upgrade of our current system. Mr. Warden indicated we will save money by sharing
towers with the State and being tied into the State network. He said the first phase will be operational
around June 2001, and the grant was approved with a sole source supplier to obtain equipment
compatibility. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr.Warden said Weld County does not have the same
problem with dead spots that Larimer County has had, and the upgrade to the system also solves some
of the problems with dead spots; therefore,when Larimer County upgrades its system, they will have less
problem. Mr. Warden responded to Commissioner Vaad that the total cost includes everything except the
cost of radios, and an additional $2 million will be required for all entities in Weld County for radios. He
also indicated the County will save up to one-half million dollars, which might be used to help the smaller
entities with no-interest loans, lease/purchase agreements, etc. Responding further to Commissioner
Vaad, Mr Warden said there will be a redundant, or duplicate, system for about six years. Commissioner
Hall moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Geile,
the motion carried unanimously.
