Director's Report: Radio system upgrade status was summarized. Many problems have arisen the past three months that have slowed the progress, but most items are now resolved. The new database server (4 th try) was finally received Aug 27 th—appears to be working. The mobile radio upgrade kit software utility which corrects a previous problem has been received and it tested okay. The new Motorola selectable access level system key does not yet have an availability date, however, this will not prevent proceeding with the upgrade. The prototype upgrade kits that we previously received for the XTS3000s have a firmware defect that Neil noted in a service and repair bulletin. Motorola is working to replace these kits as soon as possible. Peterson noted that he received approval on August 12 th by State to order the FY04 Homeland Security grant award radios (89). The first portion (44 Law radios) should arrive this week, and the second increment (45 Fire/Public Works/EM radios) by the end of September or early October. A list of radios by users and organization was distributed. Peterson asked that departments identify those who will be receiving the new XTS5000 portables so programming plans can begin. Peterson noted that the FY05 budget would be approved next Tuesday and that Brian Hanson will notify cities soon thereafter of their pro rata cost shares. The cost shares will be less than projected in April.
