¨
Lock
Box Manning - Bowman made
a motion to pay for the lock-boxes being placed inside the fire stations. Suppeland
seconded. DISCUSSION:
Hanson asked what the costs were. Newby
said $56 per month with a one-time charge of $75. Hanson reported
that there were only a few reported manned outages.
Approximately $9,000 is a lot to spend for something that occurs only 2
to 3 times per year. Feithen
called the question. The motion
failed. Riddle said he
felt we need to find some alternatives, such as using dispatchers, Deputies, or
volunteers. Suppeland said that the Board needs to look at establishing some
procedures. Riddle said he thought that the people shouldn't have to sit for
more than 1/2 hour. Newby
said that the Sheriff's office has a procedure.
Kross said he would get with Newby and try to draft a procedure.
¨
Phase
II Mapping - Kross
reported that he had a conference call with representatives from Verizon,
Intrado, and Sprint PCS regarding Phase II.
Sprint reported that they would be testing the Phase I operation
beginning in the middle of June, and continuing for a week or two as necessary. The prime reason for the conference was to discuss the
implementation of Phase II for Sprint. They
expect to have it up and running in DeKalb County before the end of this year.
In order to do so, DeKalb County has to be ready with a mapping solution. We have seen two demonstrations, both of which partner with Verizon.
Kross said he would get into
contact
with Verizon to get
costs from them on upgrading hardware, as well as discussing time-lines with
microData GIS and Geo Comm.
