• Keslinger Road Tower Report

Jim Feyerherm, Starved Rock Communications reported that he had ordered the Telephone line in mid-May, so that there would not be excessive charges before the equipment was installed.  The monthly charge is about $66.  Verizon informed him that installation should be made on July 12.  He also pointed out that this site does not have a UPS to protect against power brownouts or surges.  He recommended that one be installed.  The price would be about $3600.

NEW BUSINESS

• Coordinator’s Report –

1.      Kross said he had met with Verizon personnel to discus the new SS7 installation.  It is anticipated in mid August.  It will allow seamless integration of the expected area code overlay.  It will also reduce the call set up time significantly, which means less time before the call is sent and answered. 

2.      NENA State Meeting – in Bloomington on Thursday. 

3.      Olson mentioned that the Board usually goes on the road for a night meeting, often in October.  He said he would host the meeting in Sandwich at 7:00 PM, on October 5, in the Sandwich City Council Chambers.
