President Hoins asked for an update on the Metro Area Drug Task Force fleet mapping questions raised during the last meeting. Betts reported that coordination is on track. The fleet map may need to be revisited after the CAD upgrade, but the exact timing may depend on other entities currently considering migration to 800 MHz systems.
John Prince reported that the Printrak User Groups are progressing through CAD upgrade issues.
Peterson reminded the Board that the initial Communications Budget will be submitted in April. Proposed Budget Review will be placed on the May Agenda.
