LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
AGENCY OVERVIEW
Background
The creation of the Lubbock Emergency Communication District was approved by an
overwhelming vote of the public in 1986. Authority to create the District was provided in
Vernon's Texas Civil Statute 1432e. It was later codified in Texas Health and Safety
Code Section 772.301 through 772.329, the Emergency Telephone Number Act for
cities with population over 20,000.
The District's mission upon creation was to establish 9-1-1 as the primary phone number
to be used in an emergency in Lubbock County and the Emergency Telephone Network
associated to provide the Enhanced 9-1-1 service. All political subdivisions within
Lubbock County assisted in this mission by establishing eight (8) Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAPs) to receive emergency 9-1-1 calls. Our mission continues,
but now in a different form.
"The mission of the Lubbock Emergency Communication District is to
provide the best possible, trouble free network for the citizens we serve to
access emergency services by dialing 9-1-1; to provide the best tools
(equipment and information) to each service provider agency that will
enhance their ability to provide public safety services; and to educate the
public on the effective and appropriate use of the 9-1-1 network."
The City of Plainview joined the Lubbock Emergency Communication District through an
interlocal agreement in January 1989.
A six member Board of Managers oversees the Lubbock Emergency Communication
District. Two appointments to the Board are made by the City of Lubbock, one by the
County of Lubbock, one by the City of Slaton, one at -large appointment made by the
other Board Members, and one ex -officio (non-voting) member representing AT&T, the
primary telephone service provider in Lubbock County.
Enhanced 9-1-1 operations started within LECD boundaries on January 27, 1989.
Since that time more than 2.5 million 9-1-1 calls have been handled by the Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAPs) supported by LECD. Currently, more than 69% of all 9-1-1
calls originate from a wireless device.
In FY 2006-2007 all of the legacy analog "backroom" equipment was replaced with
state-of-the-art digital capable equipment. This has positioned the District for the move
to a new Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1) System that will use digital technology.
Software used by the telecommunicators is constantly being upgraded to ensure that
the most current program version is in use.
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 1
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
For more than five years all the major wireless service providers in the District have
been providing Wireless E9-1-1 Phase II service. This service provides the
telecommunicator with the latitude and longitude of the caller. With the assistance of
mapping software, this assists the telecommunicator in locating the caller.
The District has become more involved in the design, development and implementation
of NG 9-1-1 (Next Generation 9-1-1) in the state of Texas. NG 9-1-1 will change the
architecture of the network allowing better access for current and future communication
devices, no matter what platform they use. More emphasis has been placed on
legislative interaction regarding changes to the 9-1-1 system in Texas and in the nation.
The staff of LECD and the Board of Managers are continually looking forward,
researching equipment, new technologies, software, techniques and training to assist
the public safety telecommunicator in doing a better, more efficient job of providing
emergency help to people calling 9-1-1.

Responsibilities
9-1-1 SERVICE FEE — LECD is responsible for receiving, tracking, and depositing
service fee revenue from the service providers that provide dial tone, by wireline,
wireless or VoIP within the District. Currently the District collects 5% of the AT&T base
telephone rate on all wireline phones within the District. In addition, each subscriber to a
wireless service is assessed a fee of $0.50 per month by the State of Texas. These fees
go to the State and are then distributed to the Districts and COGs (Councils of
Government) based on population. The District also collects $0.50 per month service
fee from each subscriber to a VoIP (Voice over Internet) service provider.
9-1-1 NETWORK — LECD ensures the network that transports the 9-1-1 call is operating
properly. This is accomplished by working closely with the telephone companies and
jointly testing and reporting problems when they occur.
CALL TAKER EQUIPMENT — LECD provides the equipment used at each PSAP to
receive and answer the 9-1-1 calls. Specialized software is also provided to maintain a
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 3
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
record of every 9-1-1 call that comes into the PSAP. LECD ensures that the equipment
is working at its peak performance level at all times. The CPE (Customer Premise
Equipment) is monitored remotely, not only by LECD, but also by Plant*CML Inc., with
the use of a service called Mission Control. This system automatically notifies
Plant*CML of any problems with on-site CPE 24x7. LECD maintains and monitors a
wide area network (WAN) that allows all PSAPs to exchange information with each
other and with the District. The WAN also provides user tips, equipment and software
operation instruction, electronic equipment trouble reporting, and other reference
information.
24-HOUR RECORDERS — Part of the equipment that LECD provides to the PSAPs that
it supports is logging recorder equipment. This equipment, replaced in FY 2007/2008,
makes a recording of every 9-1-1 call that is handled by the PSAP. Through the use of
maintenance contracts, the equipment is maintained in peak operating condition.
MAINTENANCE OF MSAG — The MSAG (Master Street Address Guide) is the database
that is used to determine to which PSAP 9-1-1 calls should be sent. The MSAG is also
used to validate telephone subscriber addresses.
RURAL ADDRESSING — Lubbock County Commissioners Court appointed LECD as
sole addressing authority for all unincorporated areas of Lubbock County. LECD
coordinates the provision and use of these addresses with all affected parties.
MAP DEVELOPMENT — The centerline map that has been developed is used by
PSAPs to locate the 9-1-1 call graphically on a map display. This takes place with both
wire -line and wireless calls. The wireless call location appears when the PSAP receives
a Wireless Phase 11 9-1-1 call. LECD produces map books for use by the PSAPs and
the field emergency responders. We have also provided access to a data set similar to
the Public Safety Map Book on the LECD website.
STREET SIGNS — LECD pays for the manufacture of street signs in Lubbock County for
placement/replacement at the intersection of roads. The signs provide the street name
and the block range at that location. These signs provide direction not only for
emergency responders, but also for mail and other delivery service.
SERVICE PROVIDER COMPLIANCE - LECD is responsible for identifying and
contracting with CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers), WSPs (Wireless
Service Providers), and VSPs (Voice over the Internet Service Providers) to ensure they
are providing proper 9-1-1 service to their customers that reside within the District.
LECD also works with WSPs and VSPs in implementing and testing the latest
technology to facilitate in the locating of callers to 9-1-1 from their respective service.
PUBLIC EDUCATION — The District is the primary supplier of educational material and
public training programs on the use of 9-1-1 and new communication technologies.
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 4
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
TELECOMMUNICATOR TRAINING — This is a benefit to all agencies that operate a
PSAP. LECD Staff conducts training classes on Basic 9-1-1, the use of the Vesta
workstation and the administration of the Vesta telephone equipment. The District also
provides funds so that telecommunicators can take advantage of numerous training
opportunities. LECD also sponsors classes and web seminars locally.
PREPARATION AND HOSTING OF MEETINGS — Many hours are spent each month
preparing information for a variety of meetings that are hosted by LECD. The monthly
Board of Managers and User Group meetings require many hours of preparation.
Meetings are also held as needed with telephone service providers and agency officials.
LECD Staff conducts briefings with legislative contacts on an as needed basis to update
them on issues effecting 9-1-1 service in Lubbock County.
QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER — The Technical Specialist serves as the Editor for this
newsletter that is published every quarter. The publication takes many hours of Staff's
time to prepare. Around 200 newsletters are mailed to PSAP personnel, Districts and
many other people and businesses in Texas and across the United States.
RESEARCH AND PLANNING — District Staff is continually researching the most
advanced technology on the market, determining if it fits the needs of the District and
planning for its implementation. This also includes participation in the development of an
NG 9-1-1 (Next Generation 9-1 -1 ) system for the District and the State of Texas. This
will be a network, which will include database services that will be able to handle
Enhanced 9-1-1 services for all devices that need to connect to the 9-1-1 network.
MAINTENANCE OF CUSTOMER PREMISE EQUIPMENT — As previously stated,
LECD has the responsibility of maintaining the hardware and software associated with
9-1-1 call delivery in the PSAPs. A trained technician on staff is assigned this duty.
These are the major items that LECD provides to the participating agencies and the
citizens of Lubbock County and the City of Plainview.

SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES FOR FY 2009-2010
In addition to the routine duties of the District, which involve day-to-day addressing and
ensuring the 9-1-1 network is functional and the 9-1-1 call receiving equipment is
operating properly: LECD plans to continue working on the following significant activities
in this fiscal year.
NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES
The Next Generation Technologies Project replaces projects that were previously
named Emerging Technologies, PSAP IP Network and Redundant Communication
Network. All of the previously mentioned projects had the common goal of being a
"piece" of the Next Generation 9-1-1 Puzzle. In FY 2009-2010 the District will be
completing the review and contracting process of the IP Network RFP (Request for
Proposals) which was released in FY 2008-2009. This Network will connect the PSAPs
in the District together on a fully redundant, public safety grade IP network. This NG911
IP based network will allow PSAPs to transfer calls between them without having to go
back through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). A future vision of this
network is the ability to transfer a 9-1-1 call from one to many PSAPs. This is a feature
that the telephone company 9-1-1 network cannot provide, yet is highly requested by
our user agencies. The IP network will in the future connect to an Emergency Services
Network, which will provide more advanced 9-1-1 call routing capabilities than currently
exist.
9-1-1 WORKSTATION/MONITOR/SERVER REPLACEMENT
This will be an upgrade of the PSAP CPE "front end" equipment. LECD Staff will replace
the computers, monitors, telephone sets and at least one server at every PSAP. The
current equipment, after running continuously for the last five years, is beginning to
show its age. Hard drives, power supplies and cooling fans are failing. All of these are
critical parts to the operation of the 9-1-1 workstation.
CPE MAINTENANCE
LECD continues to provide 24 x 7 maintenance on all of the LECD provided equipment
directly related to the answering of 9-1-1 calls.
LEGISLATION
With the help of the Lubbock Emergency Communication District and the Texas 9-1-1
Alliance, legislation which requires the prepaid wireless carriers to remit 9-1-1 service
fees has been passed by the 81St Session of the Texas Legislature. This legislation is
projected to bring an estimated $100,000 additional service fees a year into the District.
These extra dollars will further help to ensure that the District can meet the goal of
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 7
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
emergency communications any time, any place, any device. Staff continues to monitor
the progress of this and any other legislation that could possibly affect the District.
TELECOMMUNICATOR TRAINING
LECD will continue to provide local training for telecommunicators. Classes will be held
on an as needed basis to educate telecommunicators and supervisors on the use of the
Vesta Pallas equipment and Basic 9-1-1. LECD will host seminars on topics that are
pertinent to the education of the telecommunicator and suggested by the User Group.
These are presented by well-known training consultants and are attended by public safety
personnel throughout West Texas. LECD also provides a funding source so that training
can be provided to the telecommunicators. The Training Center in the District office,
which is a functional PSAP, is used to provide specialized hands-on training for the user
on the software and hardware used in the 9-1-1 centers. LECD is currently investigating
increasing facility space so that the Training Center can be enlarged to allow for more
teaching area and to provide an area for staging and testing equipment.
USER GROUP MEETINGS
LECD will continue to host User Group Meetings on a monthly basis. Participation has
been very good at these meetings, and we hope to see these continue. The User Group
provides beneficial input and serves as a means of disseminating information, all of
which helps LECD accomplish its mission.
PUBLIC EDUCATION
LECD continues to maintain the Public Education Program. We plan to continue to build
the LECD Road Show Team that consists of members of the 9-1-1 Public Safety
Community.
GIS COLLABORATION EFFORT
LECD has formed a very valuable relationship with other entities involved in
GIS/mapping efforts in Lubbock County. We plan on participating in meetings to further
the goal of collaboration among all entities and uniform enforcement of standards. This
is very important in streamlining the addressing functions for all involved. With the
forward progression toward Next Generation 9-1-1, accurate mapping is an essential
need which will aid in the accurate routing of 9-1-1 calls to the proper PSAP, regardless
of the type of communication device used.

DISTRICT OPERATIONS
This section of the budget describes the District operating expenses of the budget. It
pertains more to the day-to-day operations than to specific programs and projects.
Salary/Employee Expense
Salaries — Full Time $411,500
This is for salaries for the full time District employees. This amount includes the CPE
Technician that maintains the customer premise equipment at the PSAPs. This
Technician's salary and a portion of the Computer Network Technician's salary go to
directly support the answering points. This figure includes merit increases for
appropriate full time employees. Staff is eight full time employees.
Salaries — Part Time $5,500
This is for salaries to pay for any temporary help that might be needed to complete
projects that require involvement of all staff during busy times. This would be only
temporary assistance. Road Show Team wages are included in this category.
Retirement Expense $37,600
This is the amount paid to the Texas County and District Retirement System by the
District as the employer. This includes the payment of retirement benefits for eight full
time employees. The contribution rate for the calendar year 2009 is 8.68%. The
contribution rate for 2010 is projected to be 8.70%. By electing to contribute 9%, the
District should come very close to being fully funded. The employee currently
contributes 7% to this fund.
Insurance Benefit $78,400
This is for medical, vision, dental, disability and life insurance through TML
Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool for the full time District employees.
Employees pay for a portion of the premium for family members that are on the plan.
An increase of around 5% is expected. This percentage continues to be minimal
compared to other agencies within the pool because LECD's group loss ratio has
remained very low.
Workers' Compensation $1,800
This is the District's contribution for State Workers' Compensation insurance coverage.
This covers the employee should they be injured on the job.
Unemployment $2,160
This is the District's contribution to the Texas State Unemployment Fund. This amount
is based on a percentage of the first $9,000 per employee. The rate for the current
calendar year is .5%. The rate for the previous year was 1.1 %, but has been as high as
3%. Since the rate information is not received until after the first of the calendar year,
and the rate fluctuates from year to year, we have set this rate at 3%.

OTHER PSAP SUPPORT
Recurring Costs $308,500
Wireline Network Charges $139,958
These are the costs associated with providing the wireline service and 9-1-1 trunking in
the Lubbock Emergency Communication District. These charges are paid to AT&T,
Windstream, South Plains Telephone Cooperative and other CLECs (Competitive Local
Exchange Carriers). The 9-1-1 network includes the 9-1-1 trunks from the various
central offices to the selective router. Included in this amount is the cost to maintain a
special 9-1-1 trunk group and four telephone lines to the training center. Also included
is the cost of a T-1 data circuit between Slaton PD and Slaton FD. This also includes
the telephone lines installed at the PSAPs for remote maintenance.
9-1-1 Database Charges $105,000
These charges are associated with the database records that are maintained by the
telephone companies to provide accurate records for the ANI (Automatic Number
Identification) system. We pay this fee to AT&T based on the number of ALI (Automatic
Location Identification) records that exist in the ALISA database. Currently there are
approximately 139,000 subscriber records for LECD in the AT&T ALISA database.
Wireless Network Costs $37,042
These are the costs to maintain Wireless E9-1-1 Phase I and Phase II service in the
District. Some wireless service providers continue to charge for Wireless Phase I & II
services. This also includes the payment of the AT&T wireless network tariff.
Language Line Services $1,500
These are the costs involved with the provision of Language Line Services to all the
PSAPs in the District. Language Line is an interpreter service that is used by the
telecommunicators to converse with non-English speaking callers to 9-1-1. This cost is
based on the number of minutes used.
WAN Recurring Costs $25,000
This is the annual cost to keep the WAN (Wide Area Network) operational. This
network is used to monitor the equipment at the PSAPs by the District and by
Plant*CML. It is also used by the CPE Technician to remotely make changes and
repairs to the PSAP 9-1-1 equipment.
Maintenance
$279,700
Customer Premise Equipment $75,000
LECD needs to continue a Tier 2 support contract with AT&T. This provides additional
coverage should our Technician be on vacation or out of town. The current Tier 2
contract expires on April 1, 2010.
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 17
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
Mission Control $75,000
This is for the renewal of our existing contract for a three-year period. Mission control
provides 24 hour monitoring of the PSAP customer premise equipment by Plant*CML in
Temecula, CA. System alarms are automatically sent to Plant*CML, and a technician
accesses the system via a dial-up modem or through our Wide Area Network to find and
correct the cause of the alarm. We found the system beneficial during the last four
years.
Logging Recorders $39,000
This includes the annual maintenance on the logging recorders located at the PSAPs.
This is a year-to-year contract. With the move from the digital style telephones to VoIP
telephones at the 9-1-1 workstation, the mechanism of recording 9-1-1 call traffic has
changed. A portion of these funds will be used for an upgrade that will allow the
recorder to record audio traffic (9-1-1 calls) in VoIP, digital or analog formats.
UPS Maintenance Contract $30,000
The current contract for maintenance on the UPS equipment in the PSAPs expires in
August 2010. This contract will cover a 5 year period. The contract includes the
replacement of batteries as needed.
Criticall Maintenance Contract $1,350
This is for continued maintenance on the Criticall Software that is use by our PSAPs in
the pre-employment testing. The software is installed on two laptops that are loaned to
the PSAP agency for the duration of the pre-employment testing period.
Headsets $5,850
LECD provides headsets to all of the telecommunicators in the District. This fund is for
repair/replacement of headsets during the year. We will continue to replace wireless
adapters with newer, more reliable technology where needed.
Other Maintenance/Repair $11,000
This is used to pay for maintenance/repairs that are not covered by a maintenance
contract. An example would be the cost of an electrician to check wiring or add circuits
at a PSAP.
Wide Area Network Maintenance $2,500
This is for maintenance of the Wide Area Network. This is based on a per hour service
agreement and not on a contract.
Upgrades
LFD Workstation Addition Upgrade $25,000
Lubbock Fire Department has requested an additional 9-1-1 answering point
workstation. This workstation would be installed in the supervisor's office to allow
them to perform supervisory duties in their office and still be available to assist
the on duty dispatcher with call taking and notifications. This is similar to requests
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 18
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
that we have had from the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office and Lubbock EMS in
the past years. The cost listed is for the required hardware and software.
Other Upgrades $15,000
This covers software upgrades of programs at the District office that are used to
DIRECTLY support the PSAPs. It also covers other upgrade costs at the PSAPs
that are not covered by a maintenance agreement.
CPE Technician
$18,500
This category includes those expenses that are incurred relating to the maintenance of
the 9-1-1 equipment. There are many other salary/employee expenses that are
incurred that are considered operating expenses, but are not directly attributed to
support of the answering points.
Vehicle Expense $5,000
This covers maintenance of the District van that is used by the CPE Technician in
maintaining the PSAP 9-1-1 equipment. This will include such things as gas, oil
changes, car wash, tires, and insurance.
Travel/Training $11,000
This covers cost of training classes necessary to keep all personnel involved in
maintenance of 9-1-1 equipment at a level of expertise that would provide the best
possible service to the District's PSAP personnel. This also covers any travel required.
Classes are generally taught by Plant*CML, the District's CPE manufacturer, who is
located in California.
Other Supplies $2,500
This would cover any other supply item that is purchased for use by the Technician in
the maintenance of equipment at the PSAPs.
Telecommunicator Training/Travel
$21,900
This section details the planned expenditures for training and associated travel of PSAP
personnel. Each PSAP has requirements for certification. These items will assist with
the expense involved in meeting these requirements.
Tuition/Travel $12,500
This will be used at each PSAP to help with tuition and travel for PSAP personnel to
attend required classes. These funds are allocated to each PSAP according to their
size and their expressed needs. This also includes costs for award winners and their
supervisors to attend recognition events.
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 19
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
Seminars $7,000
Annually, LECD hosts a seminar in Lubbock. The topic and date of the seminar is
coordinated with PSAP management to meet the needs of the telecommunicators.
These seminars are available for public safety personnel throughout West Texas to
attend. LECD also hosts web seminars that benefit all PSAP personnel.
Educational Materials $2,400
This money would be used to purchase training materials used by LECD staff to train
the telecommunicators on the use of the call answering equipment. It will also be used
to help the PSAPs build their own education libraries. It would include purchase of
videos, instructional materials, reference materials and other meeting supplies.
Catastrophic Contingency
$100,000
In the event of a catastrophic loss, the insurance companies do not pay immediately so
some funds need to be available for use in these circumstances.
Emergency Response Support
$13,500
This is for the street signs purchased by the District to be placed in rural areas of the
county by the Lubbock County Sign Crew. This amount is based upon "per sign" costs
obtained from the District's sign vendor, Lubbock Grader Blade. Material costs continue
to increase. Replacement of missing and vandalized signs will account for the biggest
portion of this year's sign budget. Figures are based upon the purchase history of sign
orders.
Intergovernmental Aerial Mapping $5,000
This is LECD's share to participate in an aerial photography/mapping program with the
City of Lubbock and Lubbock County. LECD would have access to the data (aerial
photographs) that will be used to update our current centerline map, which is used in
the PSAPs. LECD has participated in this program for the last several years.
PSAP Communication Services
$3,500
This covers a portion of the cost of services required to maintain availability of staff for
PSAP requests. This includes wireless devices and pagers.
Capital Equipment
$6,000
This is for the purchase of a server for the PSAP equipment trouble reporting system
and furniture for the training room that will be expanded
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 20
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
Equipment Replacement $892,000
Parts $5,000
Covers the cost of purchasing replacement parts for the PSAP 9-1-1 Equipment. This
could be Telephone Interface Cards (GATM 8 or Trunk Interface Card), keyboards, RIS
boxes, and other necessary items.
9-1-1 Workstation/Monitor/Server Replacement $537,000
This will be an upgrade of the PSAP CPE "front end" equipment. This is the
replacement of the computers, monitors, telephone sets and at least one server at every
PSAP. The current equipment, after running continuously for the last five years, is
beginning to show its age. Hard drives, power supplies and cooling fans are failing. All
of these are critical parts to the operation of the 9-1-1 workstation.
Software Upgrades $350,000
Software is another area where improvements need to be made. The mapping software
used at five of the PSAPs will be replaced. These five sites do not use an integrated
mapping feature with a Computer Aided Dispatch System. The new mapping software is
easier for the District to maintain and will provide more functionality, including the ability
to seamlessly view aerial photographs of the County and City. The other software that
will be upgraded at all of the sites is the Telephone Management Software. This
software keeps track of all calls made from and answered by a 9-1-1 workstation.
Recent changes in the software allow a more seamless integration with the logging
recorders.
Equipment Replacement Fund
Due to the replacement of the 9-1-1 workstations, monitors and servers, no contribution
will be made to the Equipment Replacement Fund in FY 2009-2010.
Proposed Budget FY 2009-2010 Page 21
LUBBOCK EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DISTRICT
FY 2009-2010 BUDGET
PROJECTS
Wireless Implementation $100,000
The major wireless carriers are providing Phase II service, and contracts have been
established with them. Funds will be needed this fiscal year to pay the smaller carriers
that may start the Phase II implementation process.
Next Generation Technologies
$3,000,000
The Next Generation Technologies Project replaces projects that were previously
named Emerging Technologies, PSAP IP Network and Redundant Communication
Network. All of the previously mentioned projects had the common goal of being a
"piece" of the Next Generation 9-1-1 Puzzle. In FY 2009-2010 the District will be
completing the review and contracting process of the IP Network RFP (Request for
Proposals) which was released in FY 2008-2009. This Network will connect the PSAPs
in the District together on a fully redundant, public safety grade IP network. This NG911
IP based network will allow PSAPs to transfer calls between them without having to go
back through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). A future vision of this
network is the ability to transfer a 9-1-1 call from one to many PSAPs. This is a feature
that the telephone company 9-1-1 network cannot provide, yet is highly requested by
our user agencies. The IP network will in the future connect to an Emergency Services
Network, which will provide more advanced 9-1-1 call routing capabilities than currently
exist.
PSAP Grant Funding
$97,500
Starting in Fiscal Year 2005-2006 LECD changed from an entitlement -funding program
to a grant -funding program. Grants are approved in June of the current fiscal year to be
included in the budget of the forthcoming fiscal year. The grant program was originally
approved in February of 2005, and the supported PSAPs were notified by letter of the
program shortly thereafter. Included in the budget are the grant amounts approved by
the LECD Board. The following grants all meet the agreed upon criteria of the Grant
Program.
