4 <br /> <br />Caitlin Fenhagen commended the ABC board for its unfailing support of her <br />department’s efforts. She said she has been told they will receive a grant from the Department <br />of Public Safety for a local re-entry council, and they are awaiting the official word, but they have <br />already started to meet as a re-entry council. She said this council would work with those <br />reentering the community after incarceration, but also with those facing any type of barrier due <br />to a previous incarceration. <br />Chair Dorosin referred to the ABC information, and asked if the ABC Board has <br />increased some monies, and whether those funds are recurring. <br />Travis Myren said the $35,000 to support the position is recurring. <br />Chair Dorosin clarified that the Board of County Commissioners cannot compel the ABC <br />Board to give them money <br />Travis Myren said that is correct. <br />Commissioner Price said the ABC Board appreciates knowing where its donations are <br />going, since it did not know this in the past. <br />Commissioner Price said the BOCC seat on the ABC board is a non-voting one. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said it struck him how quickly this new approach and department <br />has been created and everyone from the BOCC to law enforcement and the court community <br />wanted to make this happen. He said it has been great to have Caitlin Fenhagen take charge. <br />Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> <br />• Emergency Services – page 306 (page 11 slide) <br />o Total expenditure budget - $10,777,377 <br /> Total County Costs Decreased by $454,830 from FY2017-18 Budget <br /> Motor Pool Charge Backs Removed from Department <br />Budget <br /> EMS Revenue Increase of $256,285 Contributed to Net County Cost <br />Reduction <br />o Administration Division <br /> Telephone Charges Reallocated from Communications - $33,175 <br /> Decreased Uniform Costs ($10,000) <br /> Decreased Training Costs ($7,500) <br /> Chair Replacement (5) - $1,000 <br />o Emergency Management Division <br /> New Division Created by Reallocation from Administration <br /> Everbridge Notification System (OC Alerts) Expense - $20,069 <br /> Matches Full Cost of the System <br /> Increased Costs Offset by Partner Agency Revenue <br /> <br />• Emergency Services (ES) – page 310 <br />o Fire Marshal Division <br /> Future Allocations of Rescue Equipment ($36,135) Determined by <br />Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment <br />o Communications (911) Division – Emergency Telephone Fund <br /> Funded with 911 surcharge on Wired and Wireless Phone Bills <br /> Revenue Increase in Subscriber Fees – ($165,685) <br /> Replace All 911 Servers and Workstations - $45,791 <br /> 20% Local Share <br /> Backup Center, Priority Dispatch Maintenance - $21,570 <br /> Four (4) Chairs for Telecommunicators - $5,000 <br />• Emergency Services – page 310
