RE: E911 Agenda Item
ACTION: Consider E911 Contract for State FY2018
#E 18-024
BACKGROUND: By RCW, enhanced 911 services are a county obligation,
which Kittitas County delegated to KITTCOM. Two sources are used to fund the
mandate; a local $.70 per month per access line tax and grants from the State
Enhanced 911 Program Office for WAC eligible services and equipment not fully
funded by local E911 tax revenue.
The E9-1-1 Operations Contract has a slight decreased amount from the
previous year. The excise taxes for wireline and wireless continue to decrease
and the prepaid wireless & VolP do not increase enough to supplant the
difference. During FY17 as we purchased the Capital Equipment for the Next
Generation 9-1-1 phone system and the recorder, we included the maintenance
costs for the next few years which are deducted from our operations contracts,
however this approach provided cost savings going forward.
INTERACTION: Contract Amendment E18-024 for E911 operations is before the
Board for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Board Chairman to sign the Enhanced 911
contract with the Washington State Military Department.
HANDLING: Return two copies of the executed contract to the Military
Department along with a signature page.
ATTACHMENTS: A contract and signature page from the Washington State
Military Department.
