A robust sanitation program is needed within the 9 -1 -1 Center to <br />minimize the spread of communicable disease. In January/February 2014 the 9 -1 -1 Center had <br />over twelve staff out with the flu under a two week period. This sanitation program will help <br />prevent this loss of capability in the future. <br />All improvements are either service contracts, or purchases through State of North Carolina <br />Contract or other approved cooperative purchasing agreements. These projects have been pre - <br />approved by the NC 9 -1 -1 Board. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of implementing these projects is $204,960.20. Funding for the <br />proposed projects would come from the ETF with approval of Budget Amendment #9 -B. The <br />current Unassigned Fund Balance of the ETF is $654,271.69. With- this appropriation the <br />Unassigned Fund Balance of the E9 -1 -1 Fund will be $449,311.49. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve implementation <br />of these 9 -1 -1 Center upgrade projects, authorize the Manager to sign all necessary paperwork <br />related to the improvements, and approve Budget Amendment #9 -B. <br />
