A GENDA REPORT
FEBRUARY 11 , 2021
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: George Long, Director, 509-925-8530",
RE: E911 Agenda Item
ACTION: Consider E911 Contract for State FY2021 Amendment, #E21 -024A
BACKGROUND: By RCW, enhanced 9-1-1 services are a county obligation, which
Kittitas County delegates to KITTCOM. Each State Fiscal Year, the State obligates
funds to KITTCOM based on access line tax and grants from the State Enhanced 9-1-
1 Program Office for WAC eligible services. The current contract is for $316,236.
Recently the State, due to restrictions from COVID-19, were able to reallocate some
State funds to the State Enhanced 9-1-1 Program Office that allowed KITTCOM to
apply for extra funds for FY21. The addition is specific, as it is for no more than
$26,500 to be used to finish work on KITTCOM's Universal Power Supply (UPS)
system, which allows for continued operations of KITTCOM during a power outage.
INTERACTION: Contract E21 -024A for E911 operations is before the Board for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Board Chairman to sign the Amended
Enhanced 9-1-1 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.
