IR 1501-10 - Authorizing execution of Memoranda of Agreement with AT&T, Global

CHAIRMAN EDDINGTON:
Second by Legislator Gregory.
LEG. KENNEDY:
On the motion, Mr. Chair?
CHAIRMAN EDDINGTON:
On the motion, Legislator Kennedy.
LEG. KENNEDY:
Does this resolution just give us access to private communication towers? Reading the resolution,
I'm a little uncertain.
MR. BROWN:
Good morning, Legislator Kennedy.
LEG. KENNEDY:
Good morning.
MR. BROWN:
No, this resolution was for approval of a Memorandum of Agreement to implement a Homeland
Security Grant which was accepted and appropriated in 2008 for a hardening of sites relating to
certain communication facilities, and those facilities are the ones that are identified in the title of the
resolution. So this resolution, the subrecipients are these communication companies and we've
entered into an agreement where the Police Department will procure, pursuant to this Homeland
Security Grant, the equipment needed to harden these communication sites.
LEG. KENNEDY:
But whose sites are they; are they our sites? I don't want a specific on this, obviously, I'm not
looking for --
MR. BROWN:
The sites of the communications companies.
