RE: E911 Agenda Item
ACTION: Consider E911 Amendment A to Contract for State FY2018 #E18-024
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 decreased amount from the original agreement. The excise taxes
for wireline and wireless continue to decrease and the prepaid wireless & VoIP 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.
The reason for the additional decrease of $19,670.00 from our Coordinator Professional Development
(CPD) is due to the State 911 Office not having sufficient funds to support the NG911 project to move the
911 date from the older legacy, analog ESlnet to the NG911 ESlnet. CPD funds are provided to all
counties, not just Operations Counties who receive Grant funds, and all counties decreased CPD by 50%
for the remainder of Fiscal Year 18. The NG911 ESlnet project includes moving all 39 counties,
approximately 67 PSAPs (public safety answering points) to the new Internet Protocol (IP) system over the
next 10 months, funding two ESlnet providers during the process.
INTERACTION: Contract Amendment E18 -024A 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.
