FUTURE RADIO SYSTEM IN ST. CROIX COUNTY
Interoperability Grant — Kollman explained the County's options with a handout and presentation. This grant is
75% funded and 25% matching. Clark County is the lead county who will submit the grant for the Regional
Consortium. A Struemke /Jacobson MOTION was made to support the whole Regional Component Package.
The F.C.C. has made it mandatory for the Public Service Sector to become `BF Narrow -Band Compliant by
January 1, 2013. Wide -Band will no longer be useable. Narrow -Band gives more Radio Channels.
Kollman will compose a memo to be distributed to all municipalities informing them of the upcoming mandate and
preparation that will be needed to comply with Narrow -Band, along with a questionnaire concerning their radio
communications equipment (Portables, Pagers). Kollman will also get an Engineer's estimated cost of a fee for an
advisory decision on the best way to accommodate St. Croix County and municipalities in the transformation of
communications.
TEMPORARY TELECOMMUNICATOR POSITIONS FOR 2006
A Jacobson/Grant MOTION was made to approve the request for Two Temporary Telecommunicator Positions.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Pam Engen, Administrative Secretary
