This budget represents the financial plan enabling the Lubbock Emergency Communication District to provide enhanced 9-1-1 service to the citizens of this District. CURRENT YEAR During the current year, rural addressing has had a very high priority, and significant progress has been made. The majority of the rural addressing project will be complete by the end of this current fiscal year. Additionally, all answering points were provided with voice recording equipment. During a year that witnessed an increased level of security, these recorders proved to be a wise and timely District investment. Careful financial analysis indicates the District could pay off the bank loan two and a half years ahead of schedule. This one-time payment will significantly increase the revised budget. However, the future cost savings in interest payments is substantial. PROPOSED BUDGET Developing a long-range plan has been a beneficial guide in the development of the proposed budget. Rural addressing is clearly the District's number one goal; public education is also identified as an area of major emphasis. This budget allows the District to make an aggressive effort to generate public awareness of the availability of enhanced 9-1-1 and its proper use. A fully enhanced 9-1-1 system serving a population of approximately 250,000 in 10 different cities with 10 answering points requires an innovative and constant training effort which is addressed in this proposed budget. SUMMARY The recommendation to pay off the loan requires a significant increase in the revised budget; however, adequate reserves are available to handle this payment. The proposed budget will allow the District to implement an aggressive public education program leading to maximum use of our 9-1-1 system. The current service fee rate of 4.5% is adequate to fund this budget and maintain authorized operating and capital reserves. It is the intent of the Lubbock Emergency Communication District staff that this budget reflect the most efficient and effective use of public funds entrusted to the Lubbock Emergency Communication District Board of Managers to provide enhanced 9-1-1 service to citizens of the District. Respectfull submitted, W. J. Payne, Chairman, Board of Managers WJP:cgw LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT ORDER Be it moved that the Board of Managers of the Lubbock Emergency Communication District adopt the Fiscal Year 1991/92 and Revised Fiscal Year 1990/91 Budget attached hereto. Be it further moved that the Board of Managers of the. Lubbock Emergency Communication District set the service fee, as authorized by Vernon's Texas Civil Statute Article 1432e, at 4.5% of the base rate as defined by Section 11(b).
