INTRODUCED July 9, 2007 APPROVED: a ESID NT%J City Council ATTESTED BY: CITY CLERK BY Randy Thurston Councilperson Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION //0� AGENDA ITEM # H DATE: July 9, 2007 DEPARTMENT: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY- JOHN WILKINSON TITLE A RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION BY THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSOLIDATED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK OF COLORADO, INCORPORATED, (CCNC) STATEWIDE DIGITAL TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEM (DTRS), AS PART OF LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY INITIATIVES ISSUE Should the City join and participate in the Consolidated Communications Network of Colorado, Incorporated (CCNC) Statewide Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS) for interoperable radio communications. RECOMMENDATION Approval of this resolution. BACKGROUND The City's new radio system will be compatible with the Statewide Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS). That Statewide network is comprised of hundreds of radio towers, many of which are owned and operated by State agencies. There are numerous counties and cities that also own towers that are part of this large, cooperative radio system. The Consolidated Communications Network of Colorado, Incorporated (CCNC) is the organization through which all of the participating agencies and jurisdictions plan and integrate on a statewide basis. Without this cooperative effort, the towers that comprise the Statewide DTRS would not be able to communicate with each other. Approval of this resolution will allow the City of Pueblo to join the CCNC. FINANCIAL IMPACT At this time there is no financial impact from joining this organization. The Agreements do allow for the establishment of users' fees in the future. The City could opt out of the organization at that time if fees were onerous. Whether fees ever become a requirement is a decision that would be made by the jurisdictions that comprise CCNC, in order to pay for expenses that are shared among the participants. There is no indication at this time that CCNC members are prepared to impose such users' fees upon themselves.
