Existing coverage is unsatisfactory (especially for
portable radios), Channel capacity is limited, No Interoperability between fire and law enforcement, In-building coverage is unsatisfactory (especially schools and large boxes)
Recommendation to move to a P25 800 MHz system.
Industry accepted proven technology, Greatly enhanced communication coverage within county, Enhanced in-building coverage, Interoperability with
- ther agencies, unlimited talk-group potential, 800
MHz frequencies are less prone to interference and can be operated at higher power level, and the system can be opened to other agencies/users (i.e. school transportation, other county departments, utilities, etc.)

4% growth rate to be levied in FY 18 with additional
revenue earmarked for communication system debt
Based on the DLG 2016 assessment and tax rate
data, the County would collect an additional $771,000 over the approved FY17 budget.
Pros – Funds System. Cons – Does not address unsustainability of 911
service or other capital needs of the county, Negatively impacts economic development projects, Negatively impacts real estate sales
SLIDE 8
Approximately 53,500 residential/business dwelling units county
wide
Annual per unit fee of $60.00 and includes elimination of the
911 land line fee @ $33.12/yr.
Pros: Funds new system and a part of the 911 operation that is
currently being underwritten from the general fund. Every address contributes to the project
Cons: Large businesses, nursing homes etc pay the same amount
as residential unit, even though 911 usage is likely to be larger; does not fully fund 911 continuing general fee subsidy

Fully fund radio system Fully fund the operation of 911 Center Any additional revenue collected would be restricted to capital fund for road and infrastructure needs
