The County must submit its plan to the State by December 15. 1. The two City agencies most direc�ly affected by the 9I1 service, the Police and Fire Departments, hesitate to endorse the plan at this time until certain unresolved questions are answered. 2. Both departments have raised these issues consistently ' throughout the 911 p�anning process. They continue to be legitimate points which until .resolved, cause concern � about the advisability of the City endorsing a plan until further evidence related to the question of burden of costs to the local PSAP (Police Department) is available. Under the circumstances I recommend that the City of Saint Paul approve the plan contingent upon certain conditions, and that final approval of the City Council be given only when specific costs are available to the 911 Board and the 1oca1 implementing agencies. The cost question will not be resolved until speci- fications are drawn and the bidding process is completed by the vendors of the telephone communications equipment. This timetable appears to be in early 1980. The specifications are let by the 911 Joint Powers Board which is composed of County Commissioners from the seven county rletropolitan area. Costs of remodeling to accommodate the system may be incurred by the Police Department. This will be known with the results of the bidding process. The remodeling will be necessary if the vendor's switching equipment is located within the dis- patching center at the Police Department. The cost estimate � is approximately $100 ,000 and would be borne by the City. The second cost issue relates to an assumption by 911 planners . . � �E-� �-.�,-. . �� �'���'�� �� .>�,�;�,, . City Council Members Page 2 November I6, 1979 that federal funds will be available in the form of grants from one of three federal agencies to fund the installation charges. If federal funds are not available, the County according to state statute, is not required to implement the system. Installation costs are estimated at $48,000 . If the local PSAP decides to terminate the 911 contract, a basic termination charge of $17,600 is paid by the local agency. A resolution is attached for your consideration.
