Conference will make recommendations as to which projects will be funded. After <br /> careful scrutiny, it has been determined that th.ere are nF� other projects regarding 9-1-1 <br /> that could be funded locally. The deadline for applying fc�r these funds is January 31, <br /> 2007. <br /> Financial Implications- <br /> 'I'he ETSB already has a consultant doing work for them in locating the best replacement <br /> switch and software for the Macon County PSAP. They have funded that portion of the <br /> project. The ETSB will provide the recommendations to the city for inclusion in the <br /> grant application. The project will include purchase, installation of the equipment and <br /> any necessary training. There is no match required for this opportunity. However, the <br /> ETSB has agreed to fund the remaining portion of the costs that rise above the amount <br /> granted by the committee. The final costs will not be known until closer to the close of <br /> the application period. The only cost to the city will be "in kind" by preparing, sending <br /> and managing the grant with the Northwest Municipal Conference. This can all be <br /> accomplished through the regular duties of the �dminist�ative Operations Division of the <br /> Police Department. <br /> The local governments eligible for funds and the amuunt they are eligible for are: <br /> Argenta- $3,423.36 <br /> Uecatur- $350,000.00 <br /> l�ors�-th- $9,047.18 <br /> Macora- $11,653.40 <br /> Maroa- $10,5fi0.17 <br /> Mt. "Liot�- $1,597.63 <br /> I�otal- $386,281.74 <br /> The ETSB is contacting these village boards in an attempt to obtain resolutions from their <br /> boards to allow their funding to be incorporated into thzs application. The villages, like <br /> llecatur have no 9-1-1 resources and the funds will be returned to the IMF if they choose <br /> not to participate. Chances for approval of our proposal by the committee improve if we <br /> have a joint application. <br /> Recommendation- <br /> It is recommended that City Council, through an offici�I res�lution, authorize the Police <br /> Departinent to apply to the Northwest Municipal Cunf�rence cominittee for these funds <br /> up to $3�0,000 in cooperation with the Macon County� Emergency Telephone System <br /> Board for the funding of this 9-1-1 switch and software. <br /> Staff Reference: <br /> Chief of Police James A.
