Replacement
of Vice-Chairman - A
discussion was held about replacing Chief Olson as Vice-Chairman as he moves to
the Chair. The assumption of duties
will take place at the April meeting. Suppeland
nominated Chief Bill Riddle.
Leoni seconded the nomination.
There were no other nominations. Riddle was elected by a unanimous ballot.
¨
Verizon
- A
discussion of Verizon and their contracts with partnering companies centered
around guarantees to customers of continued associations and maintenance after
the customers buy the product such as mapping.
The discussion also touched upon the auditing of telephone customer
numbers, which directly affects the revenue of the Board.
Kross reported that he had
looked into a private organization to audit the number of lines. This is an issue with a number of ETSBs, however currently,
there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
The line information is deemed proprietary info, except for the once a
year reporting of prefix totals for the ICC.

Participating
Agency Requests -
1.
DeKalb
Police Department is requesting
board reimbursement for
¨
$2321.45
to Dictaphone for maintenance service,
¨
$307.05
to Dictaphone for maintenance service,
¨
$350 to
NENA for Brent Tillman's registration expense for the National NENA Conference.
Historically
the Board has allowed the registration expense for PSAP Administrators, out of
the general funds.
Suppeland
made a motion to approve of these expenses.
Riddle seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.
¨ PSAP Administrators' Report - The Administrators have not met. There was no report.
¨
Persons
to be Heard from the Floor -
Feithen
moved to approve the purchase with the exception of the reoccurring line charges
for a total of $7,775.
Riddle seconded the motion.
The ensuing discussion reiterated the Board's position that it would not
fund monthly or reoccurring, regular charges.
They feel that those fees should be out of each agencies individual
budgets.
This request would come out of the Sycamore split.
The vote was taken. The motion passed unanimously.
¨
Coordinator’s
Report -
1. WETSA Fund
check - $15,122.20 for 9/1/01 to
9/30/01
2.
PSAP
mapping meeting -- A meeting was held with IMO of DeKalb County and local PSAP
agencies regarding mapping requests regarding what landmarks should be marked on
maps, e.g.; Water, Railroads, Bridges, City limits.
Later discussion was about PSAP mapping needs.
Sandwich and Sycamore have no mapping systems in the works.
DeKalb County Sheriff's Police would prefer to utilize the company that
they currently use for CAD. DeKalb
Police Department probably will do the same.
3.
Kross
will report next month on utilization of WETSA (wireless) funding.
