Vehicles for the Sheriff's Office and Emergency Services are <br /> included in the Vehicle Replacement project. <br /> • Communication System Improvements -$300,000 <br /> The radio replacement initiative began in 2004 with over $5 million invested to guarantee a <br /> reliable and up-to-date radio system for first responders. This project replaces and upgrades <br /> portable radios used by Emergency Services,the Sheriff's Office, and the Health Department, <br /> ensuring compliance with the state-mandated upgrade to Time Division Multiple Access <br /> (TDMA) standards. <br /> The CIP recommends $300,000 in FY2025-26 to replace 15 portable and 15 mobile radios for <br /> the Sheriff's Office. These radios require replacement due to their age or condition. Future <br /> radio replacements will be included in the Emergency Services Renewal & Replacement <br /> project to maintain operational sustainability. <br /> • Emergency Services Renewal and Replacement - $598,955 <br /> The Emergency Services Renewal and Replacement Fund is used to replace mission critical <br /> Emergency Medical Services (EMS) equipment such as stair chairs, public alert and warning <br /> equipment, Lucas CPR devices, EMS treatment bags, electrocardiograms (EKG's), and <br /> personal protective equipment. The department has developed a long-range recurring <br /> replacement schedule to forecast specific future needs which is represented in subsequent <br /> years of the CIP. The FY2025-26 recommendation also includes the replacement of 13 <br /> portable radios (800 mHz) and batteries, consistent with the transfer from an independent <br /> CIP project to an integrated part of the department's operational responsibilities. <br /> Information Technology <br /> Significant information technology and communication improvements are financed through the <br /> Capital Investment Plan.
