§
Lock
Box Procedure - Kross reported
that during conversation with the new Verizon Tech/Engineer, he felt there was a
way to forward the calls from the lock boxed, to a seven digit number within the
Fire Stations. He was going to
explore that and get back to us.
§
Phase
II Mapping - Kross
asked for direction from the Board on pursuing mapping.
Since it was unlikely that the system could have mapping in place by
mid-December, which is when Sprint PCS said they would be ready to provide phase
II, he was directed to report back in 3 months rather than actively pursue
mapping at this time. He was
directed to contact the Phase I carriers in the area, and determine why they
have not provided it.
§
DeKalb
County Sheriff's Police/Sycamore/Genoa combined communications - The
present plan for Sycamore and Genoa will have the DeKalb County Sheriff's Police
dispatching all of their calls by February 1, 2003.
The present contract between Sycamore and Genoa will be recognized by the
Sheriff until its terminus on June 30, 2003.
Riddle
said that there will be meetings with the Genoa public safety agencies and he
will report back to the Board as to the details.
Concern was expressed as to Genoa Fire/Rescue's ability to receive pages
and radio from DeKalb County Sheriff's Police.
Feyerherm
said there were several ways of improving the signal, including a tower in or
near Genoa. No action was taken.
NEW
BUSINESS
¨
Participating
Agency Requests - None
¨
PSAP
Administrators' Report -
Lt. Newby
reported that Lee Fire Protection District has been having trouble receiving
their pages. He gave anecdotal
evidence that had been related to him. Both
of which could have had serious consequences.
Feyerherm
said that approximately 2 weeks previous, the sump
pump in the Waterman water tower failed, and again flooded our equipment.
A discussion ensued about putting the radios in a building outside of the
tower. Bowman
said he would contact the Village to determine what they would allow.
Feithen
suggested a Committee be appointed to report to the Board with suggestions.
Olson
appointed Bowman
and Kross,
and asked Newby
and Feyerherm
to assist and asked them to report in September.
