Browse Search

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The staff has requested federal funding in the amount of $1,502,942.16. With a required local match of 25%, the County would be required to fund this project in the amount of $500,980.72, if the requested grant were funded in full. The application states that other federal funds may not be used to match this federal grant, but matches may include local, state, or private funds. The County's share would be funded through a combination of 911 wireline subscriber charges, annual pay-as-you-go County capital funding, and/or some other capital funding source to be identified in the 2005-15 Capital Investment Plan. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board ratify the submission of the pre-application for federal grant funding for replacement emergency telecommunications consoles.
