Director's Report: Peterson reported no problems with 800MHz radio system since last meeting. Status of the radio system upgrade was presented. It was noted that the upgrade will take approximately four months during which time no digital traffic will be available. Monthly meetings are planned until conclusion of the upgrade. Modified licenses are in pending status with FCC for KRS248 and WPIK695 and will include adding Gretna tower as a site for our 155.55 MHz county paging system; delete an unused site 132/Platteview for our 453.90 MHz fire paging; add the existing Springfield Fire Station as a location for our 453.90 MHz fire paging; and add Platteview Tower as a new site for 453.90 MHz fire paging.
