SERVING KITTCOM (K/TT/TAS COUNTY 9111 <br />SERVING <br />700 ELMVIEw ROAD <br />`__COUNTY <br />KIC� r ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON 98926 <br />—{ T---------- 509/925-8534 • FAx 509/925-8540 <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />.JULY 23, 2018 <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Darlene Mainwaring, Director, 925-8530D <br />44=��4F <br />RE: E911 Agenda Item <br />ACTION: Consider E911 Contract for State FY2019 #E19-025 <br />BACKGROUND: By RCW, enhanced 911 services are a county obligation, which Kittitas County <br />delegated to KITTCOM. Two sources are used to fund the mandate; a local $.70 per month per <br />access line tax and grants from the State Enhanced 911 Program Office for WAC eligible services <br />and equipment not fully funded by local E911 tax revenue. <br />The E9-1-1 Operations Contract has a slight decreased amount from the previous year. The <br />excise taxes for wireline and wireless continue to decrease and the prepaid wireless & VolP do not <br />increase enough to supplant the difference. During FY17 as we purchased the Capital Equipment <br />for the Next Generation 9-1-1 phone system and the recorder, we included the maintenance costs <br />for the next few years which are deducted from our operations contracts, however this approach <br />provided cost savings going forward. <br />INTERACTION: Contract 19-025 for E911 operations is before the Board for consideration. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Board Chairman to sign the Enhanced 911 contract with the <br />Washington State Military Department. <br />HANDLING: Return two copies of the executed contract to the Military Department along with a <br />signature page. <br />ATTACHMENTS: A contract and signature page from the Washington State Military Department. <br />
