z <br />Management describes the conditions for the County's locally managed $54,000 LETPP grant <br />funding. <br />The Board of County Commissioners previously approved a series of studies during the past <br />several years of the current radio communications system throughout the County that serves <br />emergency services departments and responders. That study determined that an 800 MHz <br />trunked radio system would provide far the mast efficient use of resources to improve existing <br />emergency communications conditions. This $54,000 in grant funding will be utilized for an <br />additional propagation analysis to provide updated radio coverage analysis (including analysis <br />of radio signal penetration of buildings), develop a fleet mapping plan, and provide other <br />consultancy services in furtherance of the local and state partnership, <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no County match required for the receipt of the State- <br />administered reimbursable Federal grant. The County will file for reimbursement from the State <br />pursuant to the terms of the grant. There may be some incidental use of existing staff time; <br />however, na additional County costs should be expected. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br />Memorandum of Agreement, subject to final review by staff and the County Attorney, and <br />authorize the Manager to sign it, <br />
