Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Phone (303) 356-4000, Ext 4245 September 20, 1994 Weld 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority Board 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Board Members: The 1995 budget for the Weld 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority Board totals $352,750. The budget includes revenue of $360,000 from the E911 surcharge, $17,500 from interest earnings, and an estimated $79,458 beginning fund balance accruing from previous years. The 1995 budgeted expenditures will support 911 operating costs of $140,500, $53,000 for a remote E911 emergency dispatch unit/center, a $20,000 contingency, and $121,250 in depreciation expense for a total of $334,750. The 1995 expenditures are forecast to be $42,750 less than revenue from the E911 surcharge, interest earnings, and fund balance from previous years. The Board implemented a new policy in 1992 to restrict a portion of cash funds to accumulate an equipment replacement reserve to replace the $727,500 in equipment purchased by the Board to support 911 service. The Board intends to use a six year, straight-line method of projecting equipment life to recover approximately $121,250 each year from 1991. This method would result in a $606,250 equipment replacement reserve by the end of the 1995 budget year. The estimated ending fund balance for 1994 is $79,458. Anticipated 1995 ending fund balance is $104,208. An emergency reserve of $18,000, which exceeds the required 3% reserve under the TABOR Amendment, is included in the 1995 budget. Weld County Office of Emergency Management has requested state grant funding that has the potential of requiring matching funds related to E-911 service. The Authority Board is considering having a back-up emergency dispatch site available in 1995. Matching funds for establishing this site for E-911 service may be allocated by the Authority Board. Funds in the amount of $50,000 have been budgeted in this request. Sincerely, Kim Fliethman Secretary/Treasurer Budget Message Service: Prior to 1990, many jurisdictions in Weld County had limited 911 service. Some jurisdictions had no method to report emergencies using the telephone system. To serve the public welfare and the best interests of all citizens in Weld County, 48 government entities within Weld County agreed to form the Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority to implement enhanced 911 emergency telephone capability for every telephone in Weld County. E-911 is a telephone system utilizing the single three-digit number 911 for reporting police, fire, medical, or other emergency situations. A call on the E-911 system automatically displays the location of the caller's telephone number, address for the telephone, and other supplemental information of the calling party's location at a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) . There are PSAP's in Fort Lupton, Weld County Department of Communications, and the City of Greeley. The appropriate response personnel and jurisdiction are notified of the emergency from the PSAP. The Weld County 911 Emergency Telephone Service Authority is a separate legal entity responsible to administer the E-911 emergency telephone service program for all of Weld County except the Town of Erie. The Authority Board is authorized to collect an emergency telephone charge not to exceed seventy cents per month. The Authority Board must determine the surcharge rate each year no later than September 1 and fix the new rate to take effect commencing with the first billing period of each telephone customer on or following the next January 1st. Funds collected from the surcharge must be spent solely to pay for the equipment costs, for the installation costs, and for the monthly reoccurring charges, and, if moneys are available after such charges are fully paid, such funds may be expended for emergency medical services provided by telephone. Any funds collected and unexpended at the end of the budget year are carried over to the next succeeding year to be used in supplying E-911 emergency telephone service. The Authority Board may do any act as may be necessary to continue operation of the 911 emergency telephone service including, but not limited to, the ability to negotiate with equipment vendors and service suppliers to obtain the benefit of technological developments. These benefits must improve or enhance the quality and efficiency of 911 emergency telephone service to the users. The primary funding resource for E-911 service is the surcharge established in 1988 at fifty cents per month per telephone service. The surcharge has since remained unchanged. The revenue from the fifty cent surcharge and surplus revenues carried forward from previous years will produce sufficient revenues in 1994 to fund expenditures authorized by the intergovernmental agreement and current legislation. Budgetary Accounting Basis: The Basis of Accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in financial statements. The Basis for Accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made regardless of the measurement focus applied. Revenue and expenditures or expenses are accounted for using a modified accrual method. This method recognizes revenue in the year in which it becomes both measurable and available as net current assets or, when revenue is of a material amount, planned for but not yet received. Revenue in the modified accrual method primarily consists of surcharges collected even though the surcharge may not have yet been remitted by telephone companies in the service area. Unbilled charges for services are recorded in the appropriate fund at year end. Expenditures are generally recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. The Board adopted a policy in the September 15, 1992 meeting to fund an equipment reserve by depreciating E-911 equipment effective January 1, 1993. $727,500 in equipment will be depreciated using a straight-line method and a six year life. This depreciation method results in an annualized expense of $121,250. Lease-Purchase Agreements: The following supplemental data regarding lease purchase agreements involving real property pursuant to Section 29-1-104 (2) (d) , CRS, 1973 as amended: $ 0 A.
