Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, there are several dispatch and communications centers
in the county complex that perform substantially similar functions; and
WHEREAS, the equipment in the Sheriff's Department and Safety
Division's communiations operations is badly worn, obsolete, and difficult to
repair; and
WHEREAS, the radio channels or frequencies presently utilized
by Oakland County are insufficient to handle present and future message
volumes; and
WHEREAS, the radio communication area coverage in Oakland
County is below acceptable standards and attempts to improve coverage with
the present frequencies exacerbates "skip" problems; and
WHEREAS, Gallagher Bassett, in their evaluation of our liability
exposure, recommended that the county update its radio equipment and
system to reduce such liability exposure; and
WHEREAS, the county has a license for ten channels of 800 MHz
radio frequencies, which can be utilized for a trunking radio system, v.hich
will provide sufficient air time for the county's present and future
communications needs; and
WHEREAS, such a system can be built in phases, thus allowing
the county to prioritize its needs and immediately address this problem in
the law enforcement field; and
WHEREAS, the county's Computer Services Department has
developed a computer -aided dispatch program, which will augment a
trunking system, thus improving productivity; and
WHEREAS, a functional integrated radio communications system,
utilizing modern technology, such as trunking capabilities, computer-aided
dispatch, and automated E9-1.-1, would facilitate the creation of a County
Radio Communications Intergovernmental Services Fund, thus permitting the
development of a user billing system; and
