Dear I)€YU g1,44.6/
As you are aware, the Southern Weld County Area has been
having some difficulties with Police, Ambulance and Fire
Communications . As a result, the Southwest Weld Fire, Ambulance
and Police Commission was formed. The Commission addresses other
areas, but communication is our main focus .
The need for improved dispatch was "officially" proved
recently. On December 1st, Greeley dispatch sent the mobile
Motorola Diagnostic van to the Tri Town Area. There were no
serious problems identified with any of the Police, Fire or
Ambulance radios . The area is in need of a "get well plan" .
One was introduced by Vern Hammers at the November
Commission meeting. The meetings have been productive, both Vern
Hammers and County Commissioner Harbert have attended several and
are working with the Commission.
This is a letter of support towards the effort to improve
the Southwest Weld Communications System. We feel these are life
safety issues and will welcome improvements to our system.
All three City/Towns will continue to maintain our
equipment, and budget as possible// fort new equipment, radios, etc .

Dear Mr. Warden:
I am sending you this letter on behalf of the Tri-Area Ambulance
District to express our support for a Grant that Weld County will
be applying for this year. The purpose of this Grant will be to
place a repeater and microwave link on the KDHT tower just east of
Frederick, Colorado. We feel this addition to the Weld County
Communications System will greatly improve Law Enforcement
Communications in the south Weld County area, which will enhance
the safety and efficacy of their operations and in doing so will
upgrade the capabilities of all the Emergency Service Providers in
this area. We also applaud the foresight that the Weld County
Commissioners have exhibited in choosing the option they did from
the three that were available. It was not the option with the
lowest initial cost, but it will allow easier and more economical
upgrades in the future should they become necessary. That
demonstrates a long term commitment to having an excellent
communications system in Weld County.
I would also like to inform you the Tri Area Ambulance District has
budgeted $3, 000. 00 in fiscal year 1993 for the purchase and
maintenance of communications equipment.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours Truly reA
John Fryar, President
Board of Directors

IMPACT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION
Public Facilities/Community Development Projects
A. GENERAL AND SUMMARY INFORMATION
1. Name/Title of Proposed Project: South Weld County Communications Tower
2. Applicant: Weld County
(In the case at a multi-jurisdictional application, name of the'lead'municipality or county).
In the case of a multi-jurisdictional application, names of other directly participating municipalities and counties:
Dacono, Firestone, Frederick, Lochbuie, and Tri—Area Ambulance Service
If applying on behalf of another entity, name of that entity:
nT/o
3. Chief Elected Official (In the case of a multi-jurisdictional application, chief elected official of the 'lead' municipality or
county):
Name: Constance L. Harbert Title: Chairman, Board of County Commissioners
Mailing Address: P. 0. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Phone:356-4000, ext. 4200
4. Designated Contact Person for the Application:
Name: Donald D. Warden Title: Director, Finance & Administration
Mailing Address: P. 0. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Phone: 356-4000, ext.4218
5. Brief Description of Proposed Project ON word,or Iwf:
Attach a map showing the location of the project.
Law 1 radio channel (frequency 460/465.400 MHZ) being broadcast from the South radio tower,
18490 WCR 38, does not give adequate radio coverage to several southern county municipal-
ities including Frederick, Firestone, Dacono, and Lochbuie. Police officers have complained
from time-to-time about the poor radio coverage. Radio signal measurements have been made
throughout the area and the marginal signal level substantiates the requirement to improve
the signal strength in order to provide acceptable radio coverage.
The solution is to reuse Law 1 at the KDHT Tower with a voter receiver network to bring
the strongest transmission back to the Weld County Dispatch Center. The Law 1 repeater will
provide optimum radio coverage for all affected municipal police agencies if it is located
500 feet up on the tower. A voter receiver network can be developed by electronically
connecting the South Tower to the KDHT Tower. This electrical connection between the towers
can be accomplished by installing a microwave link between the KDHT (Tri-Area) Tower and
the South Tower. In addition, 17 new radios for the service agencies are needed due to
obsolete equipment.

coverage to several southern county municipalities including Frederick, Firestone, Dacono,
and Lochbuie. Police officers have complained from time-to-time about the poor radio coverage.
Radio signal measurements have been made throughout the area and the marginal signal level
substantiates the requirement to improve the signal strength in order to provide acceptable
radio coverage. Goal is to improve radio. coverage.
2. How were the cost estimates arrived at? Have preliminary architectural/engineering studies been completed? What
additional design work must still be completed? Use the Physical Improvements Cost Estimate Worksheet'
attached at the end of this section, for projects involving structures other than single-family housing.)
