OLD BUSINESS

NEW BUSINESS
- NG911 Consultant RFP and Intergovernmental Agreement Discussion-
- Johnson stated that the RFP is getting closer to be released to the ETSB's but it was not ready yet.
- There was a discussion to approve the intergovernmental agreement for the RFP process. After questions were answered there was a motion made to approve the document by Thomas and seconded by Hicks. Motion passed.
- Johnson discussed the options that that ETSB would have if the current 911 system would fail. The members questioned why did she have to investigate options and what were the options from Frontier since they are the equipment provider? Johnson stated she had not sent an email or letter requesting Frontier's input.
- Motion was made by Hicks and seconded by Thomas to send a letter to Frontier to ask what the options are if the 911 system was to fail. Motion Passed. The letter was to state the next meeting date of October 2, 2013 for them to get back to the ETSB.
- Frontier had not provided a date for G. Johnson to be present in the central office when the 911 equipment is being reviewed for reliability.
- G. Johnson will go to other vendors after October 2, 2013 to see if they would have quick suggestions if the system was to fail.
- G. Johnson will also go to the ICC about this issue.
- DATA contract with DeKalb County Housing Authority-
- Johnson report that she had been asked for input on the contract. She had no changes but did ask if there would be a new contract required for the ETSB and how some of the wording would affect the technician for the ETSB equipment on the roof of that contract.
- Texting 911- Nothing new to report
- Legislation
- Johnson stated no news on legislation or the Governor's advisory committee appointments.
- Participating Agency Request--
- I Am Responding- C. Johnson reported on the conversation about pagers and the software for Sandwich Fire and after that report there was not action to be taken at this time for the request for the software. G. Johnson stated that no new expenditures should be added or changed until the report was made to the legislators and Governor on how systems can spend their monies received.
- PSAP Administrators' Report -- No Report
- Persons to be heard from the floor --
-
Tracy Smith- Discussed the connection between the Sheriff Department and the DeKalb Police Department for the CAD to CAD software. Could the 911 connection be used for that connection? Each agency has paid for the necessary software but now they need a connection between them in the PSAPs. This software will be used when a call overflows to the backup PSAP and the PSAP that needs to dispatch the call is busy. Johnson will need to ask DATA if that is possible or if there would be additional charges.
-
Jim Feyerherm- Asked about the church billing and the surcharge amounts not being correct. G. Johnson stated Frontier is aware of the issue and she will follow up with them.
