body
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact on the FY 2024/25 General Fund. The funds are being transferred from the AB443 funds.
Background Information:
The AB443 funds will be used to pay for the costs of the Tower Mapping and Analysis Survey as well as the R56 Survey that need to be completed for the Emergency Communications Infrastructure Project. The Tower Mapping and Analysis Survey is the first crucial step to beginning the Emergency Communications Infrastructure Project for the Dispatch Center. It will analyze the structure of the existing tower located at the Jail, which suffered severe structural damage in 2022. The completed analysis will propose the configuration and permanent structural repairs that need to be completed prior to the new dispatch console being installed. The tower was able to be temporarily repaired in 2022 to allow the County to have the necessary surveys completed to determine the required permanent repairs that need to be made. The R56 Survey will be completed at all three sites and the final report will include any corrective actions that may need to be completed prior to the new dispatch console being installed. The R56 Survey will encompass the main tower at the Dispatch Center located at the Jail and the repeater towers located at Inskip Hill and Rancho Tehama.
Both the Tower Mapping and Analysis Survey and the R56 Survey are critical aspects of the Emergency Communications Infrastructure Project. They both need to be completed prior to the new dispatch console being installed. If the survey and necessary repairs are not completed, the new console will not be able to be installed at the Dispatch center.
