fleet by purchasing two additional twelve-passenger vans. The cost
would be paid with funds received from Ameritech as a signing
bonus for a three-year telephone contract.
The Sheriff informed us the vans are needed to handle the
increased number of prisoner transports to State correctional
facilities as a result of Jail expansion over the past several
years. The vehicles would also be used to move local work crews
throughout the County, and for Sheriff support officers to attend
local events on behalf of the Department.
It is our recommendation that the County's fleet be increased by
two with the purchase of the vans for the Sheriff Department at a
cost of approximately $42,000 for both vehicles, in accordance
with County Policy; further, that the proper County officials be
authorized and directed to amend the budget accordingly.

FROM: COURTS & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE -- 1.4 FEBRUARY 27, 2001
Your committee has considered communication no. 2-27-21 from
Timothy Genovese, Emergency Services Director regarding the
Emergency Operations Center currently located in the basement of
the Jail.
After a physical inspection of the Center equipment and facility,
Mr. Genovese met with representatives from the Controller's
Office, Sheriff Department, 911 Center, Courts & Public Safety
Committee Chair and Board Chair. The inspection found the Center
in need of serious attention.
It was their consensus that the best move would be to create a
Primary Emergency Operations Center located on the 2nd Floor of
the Saginaw County 911 Center. The secondary backup would be the
Center located in the basement. To accomplish the relocation and
upgrades, the following is required:
1) Move and/or add phone lines $2,500.00
2) New phone instruments (13 single set/1 speaker phone) 750.00
3) White board 300.00
4) Pin boards (4 at $175) 700.00
5) TV/VCR combination with mounts (2 at $500 each) 1,000.00
6) Mobile cabinet 400.00
7) Miscellaneous office supplies 1,000.00
8) Overhead drop-down projection screen 300.00
9) Multi-media projector 4,000.00
