SYSTEM ADVISORY BOARD July
7, 2004 5:30PM The Communications Advisory Board Committee was
convened in open and public session on July 7th, 2004 at 5:30 PM, in the Sarpy
County Board Meeting Room. The following members or alternates were present: Len
Houloose, Steve Betts, Rod Buethe, Kirk Schuster, Mark Wayne, Rolly Yost, Travis
Mayer, Paul Wagner, Tom Koksal, Pat Archibald and John Stacey. Notice of the
meeting was given in advance by publication in the Bellevue Leader and the
Papillion Times. Copies of the
Proofs of Publication are on file in the Sarpy County Clerk’s Office.
All proceedings were taken while the convened meeting was open to the
attendance of the public. Mayer moved, seconded by Yost, to approve the minutes
of the May 12th, 2004 meeting. Director's Report: Peterson reported channels 6 –
10 were out of service June 27 – 29th. This was likely due to failure of the
upgraded database server. Radio system upgrade status was summarized.
The database server was down for about two weeks. Due to Motorola’s
reluctance to replace it, Johnson found a replacement server on ebay for
$135.00. The unit that Motorola
will repair will be retained as a spare. A
problem with the mobile radio upgrade kits arose which delayed fleet map
building and required a software utility program to remedy. The system key
access issue with OPPD/Douglas has not been resolved but a satisfactory interim
workaround solution has been achieved. A new Motorola selectable access level
system key should satisfy OPPD/Douglas security concerns while meeting Sarpy’s
future radio programming needs. This issue remains a critical concern for Sarpy
and a final agreement must be concluded in the near term. Prototype upgrade kits
for the XTS3000s and Astro Sabers need to be completed upon receipt of
additional kit elements. No ship date has been identified.
Department points of contact will be notified early in August for radio
upgrade programming and scheduling assuming prototype kits are received and test
satisfactorily. Peterson noted that the FY04 Homeland Security grant awards have
been received. Upon completion of documents execution with NEMA, each department
will be notified of the number of radios that they will receive based on a
proportional amount of “requested to awarded” formula.
Director also noted that Johnson located an exceptional bargain for over
$250,000 in 911 Centralink spares on ebay which we subsequently purchased for
about $1,200. Finally, it was noted that the FY05 budget would be received from
Brian Hanson next week. Members would be notified if any issues required a
presentation at the county board’s reconciliation hearing scheduled for July
27th. President Houloose had no report.
There were no Subcommittee reports.
After determining the agenda for the September 1st
, 2004 meeting, Stacey moved, seconded by Archibald, to adjourn at 5:55 P.M.
Motion passed unanimously. |
