He said that colocation has been requested by <br /> 5 Chapel Hill Fire. He said that there are no additional stations until years 5 and 8. He said that <br /> 6 will allow time to plan for those stations. <br /> 7 Commissioner McKee asked about the year 1-2 colocation with Chapel Hill Fire. <br /> 8 Travis Myren said there is currently a colocation, and this will be an additional station. <br /> 9 He said the system study will show which station will be best for the colocation. <br /> 10 Commissioner McKee asked if the colocation would change after years 1 and 2. <br /> 11 Travis Myren said no. <br /> 12 Commissioner McKee said he feels strongly about colocation. <br /> 13 Travis Myren said it makes sense from a capital and operating standpoint. <br /> 14 Travis Myren said the Emergency Responder Radio System was a high ticket item at <br /> 15 over $40 million and was driven by need to place towers at less densely populated areas of the <br /> 16 county to achieve building penetration. He said technology has evolved, and bi-directional <br /> 17 antennas are now an option. He said the CIP is recommending a study to review thirty sites and <br /> 18 the outcomes will have a dramatic impact on the number of new tower sites that will need to be <br /> 19 built. <br /> 20 Travis Myren said the Blackwood Farm will be a nice addition to the county's park <br /> 21 system. He said there is planning for a phase 3 that will be $775,000. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 <br />
