A roll call vote was taken: Hanson Y Leoni Y Pettit Y Rosemier Y Russell Y Olson Y. The motion passed unanimously. ¨ RFP - Kross explained while amending the RFP for mapping, he suffered a computer crash, which has forced him to rebuild it. Most of the changes recommended by Hanson have been added. When it is rebuilt, it will be distributed to the Board and to known vendors. An ad will be placed in the media announcing the RFP. Some of the dates will have to be changed because of the time lapse. ¨ Waterman Water Tower Site - Feyerherm explained the problem encountered with the foundation of the tower. The foundation is quite deep and reinforced with rebar and cable. He said it would be preferable to drill through the metal shaft. He said that whether through the shaft or through the foundation, there would be an addition charge to drill. He said that it should be examined by an engineer to ensure that it is done safely, and determine where best the hole should be drilled. Russell suggested using an engineer from the company that erected the tower. Olson said he would speak to the Waterman Mayor to determine how they would want to proceed. Russell made a motion to approve the funding of the engineering study, as well as for the necessary drilling. Leoni seconded. There was no further discussion. The motion passed unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS ¨ Participating Agency Requests - There were none. ¨ PSAP Administrators' Report - The administrators did not meet. ¨ Persons to be Heard from the Floor - No one appeared. ¨ Coordinator’s Report 1. Grant (WETSA) distributions from April have been processed, along with some make-up from previous months. This is why the July WETSA revenues are higher than normal. April is missing the Verizon Chicago payment. May WETSA grants should have been processed on Monday, and will also probably be missing Verizon Chicago. 2. EMD - Effective 4/25/03, P.A. 92-506 requires the Department of Public Health to establish an emergency medical dispatch priority reference system and requires EMDs to give pre-arrival support instructions within the approved protocol. The rule also requires that all EMDs and EMD agencies be certified by DPH. It provided procedures and criteria for certification and recertification, and requires that EMD training procedures be led by DPH licensed instructors and conducted in accordance with national standards. It also explains certification, revocation, or suspension and lists acceptable reasons for waivers or exemptions from EMD requirements. 3. The Governor transferred 2 million from the wireless carrier's fund, to the general revenue fund. It had grown to $28 million because the wireless carriers have not yet made a determination of their costs and/or tariffs. The Governor has not yet signed the wireless surcharge sunset provision. That puts us to within 2 years of losing those funds due to the sunset provision.
4.
815 overlay - the carriers were given 60 days, to August 11th,
to report to the ICC on how they can make it work. There are multiple carriers
involved. ADJOURNMENTRussell moved to adjourn the meeting, and was seconded by Rosemier. The motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 8:18 A.M.
