YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 23I64.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING ORDINANCE 23I64? LUKE SORRY ABOUT THAT.
SORRY. MR. MCCOY, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE QUESTION.
THANK YOU. I GUESS THIS QUESTION WOULD BE TO COUNTY ATTORNEY FOGLEMAN.
WHEN WE LAST MET, IT SEEMED LIKE THE HUNG UP WAS A PENDING MEETING THE NEXT DAY.
CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE US A SUMMARY OF THAT MEETING? DID YOU GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEEDED? CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
SURE. ON THE WEDNESDAY FOLLOWING OUR LAST MEETING, THE VOLUMES ARE TURNED WAY UP.
SO I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST HERE.
THE HAD A MEETING IN JACKSONVILLE, AND I FOLLOWED UP THAT MEETING WITH A CONVERSATION TO THE REPRESENTATIVE OF MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, WHO'S THE EQUIPMENT PROVIDER.
I'VE CONFIRMED WITH THEM, WITH MOTOROLA, THAT THE EQUIPMENT THAT'S SOUGHT TO BE PURCHASED BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT STAYS IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE OR TRANSITIONS IN THE CONSOLIDATION PROCESS, IT WILL BE USEFUL BOTH IN THE CONSOLIDATION AND FOR IMMEDIATE USE.
AND I WAS TOLD BY MOTOROLA THAT IT'S THE LAST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE NEEDS TO MAKE A COMPLETE TRANSITION TO THE NEXT GENERATION 911. AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT WHO WOULD POSSESS THE EQUIPMENT IF IT'S PURCHASED? I'M RELYING ON MY MEMORY FROM TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT THE CART MIGHT GET BEFORE THE HORSE, THAT EQUIPMENT MIGHT BE PURCHASED.
NOT REALLY SURE WHO WOULD TAKE POSSESSION OF IT.
SO ON AND SO FORTH. WAS THERE A CONCLUSION OUT OF THAT MEETING, OR DOES THAT STILL LINGER? I DON'T THINK THAT'S A REMAINING CONCERN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR 23I64.
THERE BEING NONE. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE.
I'M SORRY, MISS. I JUST WANTED TO ASK, AND THIS MAY BE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION LATER.
SOME IDEA WHEN A FINAL DECISION WOULD BE MADE.
HAS IT BEEN MADE THAT THEY WILL MOVE THE 911 PEACE TO JACKSONVILLE.
SO THE 91, THE CONSOLIDATED 911 CENTER WILL BE LOCATED IN THE EXISTING FACILITY IN JACKSONVILLE.
OKAY. SO WHO WILL ABSORB THEN? THE COST? WILL IT BE SHARED WITH PULASKI COUNTY AND JACKSONVILLE ON THE COST FOR ANY TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE, SAY, TO THE FACILITY EXISTING, OR WILL THAT NEED TO BE A NEW FACILITY BUILT? I'M JUST.. NO, IT'S AN EXISTING FACILITY THAT'S ACTUALLY ONLY SIX YEARS OLD, AND IT'S A HARDENED FACILITY AND A IT'S A VERY GOOD WELL SUITED FACILITY.
AND SO THE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS ARE IN PROGRESS AND ALL THE COSTS OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND THE DESKS, SPECIAL DESKS GO WITH THEM AND EVERYTHING AND, AND MODIFICATIONS, WE NEED TO BE MADE ALL THE WIRING AND THINGS IS IN PROGRESS AND SO IT'LL BE SHARED EXPENSE.
AND WE'RE ABLE TO GET AT LEAST PARTWAY DOWN THE ROAD OF NEGOTIATING WHAT THOSE AMOUNTS ARE GOING TO BE AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO HOW THEY'RE GOING TO KEEP ALL THE LAWYERS HAPPY.
OKAY. AND I'M ASSURE HUTCH IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP US KNOW, MONEY WISE..
YOU'RE EXACTLY CORRECT.. WHERE WE ARE.
YOU'RE A SEASONED VETERAN HERE NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FIGURING OUT WHO WHO CAN ANSWER WHICH QUESTION.
