2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners November 13, 2001
The 9-1-1 Communications Authority has approved the first
expenditure of the Saginaw County 9-1-1 Cellular Surcharge Funds
in the amount of $215,000. These funds are to provide for a new
upgrade of Printrack CAD Version 6.3, which will be Phase II
Wireless compliant. This upgrade will allow for continuing
efforts to achieve the wireless 9-1-1 goals for Central Dispatch.
Presently Saginaw County has within a separate fund a total of
$299,613 of wireless funds received from the State of Michigan.
The expenditure of $215,000 will leave an available balance of
$84,613 for further wireless upgrades.
It is our recommendation to approve the budget adjustment within
the Saginaw County Telephone Surcharge Activity in the amount of
$55,000, which will bring the total amended 2002 Budget to the
$215,000.
